So if we take 1.19 to be the 100%, what is 4.98% of that then?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
1.19&100\\
a&4.98
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{1.19}{a}=\cfrac{100}{4.98}\implies \cfrac{1.19\cdot 4.98}{100}=a$

that much. close to 6 pennies.

Area and Circumference of Circles

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Pi( $\pi$ ) is the ratio of circumference to diameter for any circle.

Perimeter is the distance around a circle.

Circumference of circle $C = \pi d$ .

Perimeter of circle $= 2 \pi r$

What is circle ?

A circle is a spherical shape without boundaries or edges.

A circle is a closed, curved object with two dimensions in geometry.

Consider two small arcs AB and CD of two circles of radii x and y units, both of which make an angle of measure θ at the centers P and Q respectively.

For smaller values of θ, the arc length AB is almost equal to the length of the line segment $\bar{AB}$ . Similarly, arc CD ≅ $\bar{CD}$ .

Using the SAS rule of triangle similarity, we can say that APB and CQD are similar triangles because their angles are the same and their ratios are AP: PB = CQ: QD = 1: 1. So, it stands to reason that AB: AP = CD: CQ.

Circumference = $\pi \times$ diameter or circumference = 2 $\pi \times$ radius if this constant equals some value.
