Question

The radius of a circle is 2 centimeters. What is the circles circumference?

Answer 1

Answer: 4π cm or 12.56 cm

Step-by-step explanation: To find the circumference of this circle, start with the formula for the circumference of a circle which is C = 2πr.

Since the radius is 2 centimeters, we can

plug in 2 centimeters for r in the formula.

So we have (2)(π)(2 cm) which is equal to 4π cm.

So the circumference of this circle is 4π cm.

Remember that π is approximately equal to 22/7 or 3.14 so we can estimate the value of the circumference by plugging in 3.14 for π.

So we have (4)(3.14) which is equal to 12.56.

So the circumference of the circle is

approximately equal to 12.56 cm.
