You have a circle with a diameter of 24 divided into 16 sections what is the size of each section

ziro4ka [17]

The circle with diameter of 24 means that 2 $\pi$ r = 24.

Solving for r, we get $\pi$ r=24.

Dividing both sides by $\pi$ , we get r=24/ $\pi$ .

The area of the full circle is $\pi$ times 24 squared over $\pi ^{2}$ . The $\pi$ being multiplied cancels out, meaning that 24 squared over $\pi$ is the area of the full circle. 24 squared is 576, and dividing by 16 we get $\frac{36}{\pi}$ as the answer.
