Question

A circular mirror measures 24 cm in diameter.

Answer 1

Answer:

The perimeter or circumference of a half mirror = 37.68 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

• The diameter of circular measure = 24 cm

We know that the perimeter of a circular shape is called the 'circumference', with the formula

• Circumference of a circle = C = 2πr

When the mirror is cut into half, the diameter gets half as well.

• Thus, the diameter of a half mirror = 24/2 = 12 cm

We know that radius = r = diameter / 2 = 12/2 = 6 cm

Thus, the perimeter of half of the mirror  = C = 2πr

                                                                           = 2(3.14)6

                                                                            = 37.68 cm

Therefore, the perimeter or circumference of a half mirror = 37.68 cm
