A circle's size and shape is fully defined by its radius. Given two circles with radii r and r', the diameters are d=2r and d'=2r' and they are in the ratio 

<span>d'/d = (2r')/(2r) = r'/r. </span>

<span>The diameter ratio is the same as the radius ratio. Similarly, the circumferences c=πd and c' = πd' are in the ratio </span>

<span>c'/c = (πd')/(πd) = d'/d = r'/r </span>

<span>The circumference ratio is the same as the diameter ratio and the radius ratio. All of the key linear dimensions are in the same proportion. </span>

<span>You might point out that the same thing happens with a square, where the size and shape are also completely determined by a single measurement, the length s of a side, with the diagonal and perimeter (corresponding to diameter and circumference) being d = √2 s and p = 4s. </span>

<span>Maybe you can lead at least some of the students to generalize to other regular polygons. Some of them (like the equilateral triangle and regular hexagon) can be demonstrated like the square and circle above with formulas from geometry. The general case needs trig ratios to state the formulas relating side length to the radius and apothem of the polygon.</span>

Answer:

The ratio of circumference to diameter in all circles is a constant value, pi. Also, the ratio of the diameters and the ratio of the circumferences of any two circles reduces to the ratio of their radii.

Using the equation x squared minus c equals 0 , what value of c has 9 and -9 as solutions.
Svetach [21]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  c = 81

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation x² -c = 0 can be factored as ...

  (x -√c)(x +√c) = 0

which has roots ±√c.

The roots are given as ±9, so we have ...

  ±9 = ±√c

  c = (±9)² = 81

The value c = 81 makes the equation have ±9 as solutions.
