Answer: The answer is the first explanation.


Step-by-step explanation:  We are given five different options and we are to select which explanation is correct to derive the formula for a circumference of a circle.

Let 'C' be the circumference and 'd' be the diameter of a circle. Now, we will write the ratio of the circumference to the diameter as

\dfrac{\textup{C}}{\textup{d}}.

Also, we know that

\dfrac{\textup{C}}{\textup{d}}=\pi.

And diameter of a circle is twice the radius, so

d=2r.

Therefore,

\dfrac{\textup{C}}{2\textup{r}}=\pi\\\\\Rightarrow \textup{C}=2\pi \textup{r}.

This is the formula for the circumference of a circle. Since this explanation matches exactly with the first option, so the correct option is

(a). Find the relationship between the circumference and the diameter by dividing the length of the circumference and length of the diameter. Use this quotient to set up an equation to showing the ratio of the circumference over the diameter equals to π . Then rearrange the equation to solve for the circumference. Substitute 2 times the radius for the diameter.
