Question

Priya, Han, and Mai each measured one of the circular objects from earlier. Priya says that the bike wheel is 24 inches. Han says that the yo-yo trick is 24 inches. Mai says that the glow necklace is 24 inches. 1. Do you think that all these circles are the same size? 2. What part of the circle did each person measure? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes they are of the same size since they have the same number and standard unit of measurement (i.e 24 inches).

Each person measures the circumference of the circle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Priya, Han, and Mai each measured one of the circular objects from earlier.

Priya says that the bike wheel is 24 inches.

Han says that the yo-yo trick is 24 inches.

Mai says that the glow necklace is 24 inches.

Do you think that all these circles are the same size?

Yes they are of the same size since they have the same number and standard unit of measurement (i.e 24 inches).

What part of the circle did each person measure?

Each person measures the circumference of the circle.

The circumference also known as the perimeter of the circle is denoted by :

C = 2π r

The circumference of a circle is the distance round the edges of the circle.

Given that C = 24

24 = 2π r

r = 24/(2π)

r = 3.8 inches

This confirms the claim that all the circle are of the same size since they possess the same radius.
