Question

Is a diameter of 9cm more than a radius of 5cm and which would have the larger circumference?

Answer 1

Answer:

Circle B

3.14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The diameter is twice the radius, so the diameter of Circle B is ...

 2 × 5 cm = 10 cm

This diameter is greater than the 9 cm diameter of Circle A, so Circle B is larger and will have a larger circumference.

2. The circumference is the product of π and the diameter. Then the difference between the two circumferences is ...

... (circle B circumference) - (circle A circumference) = π·(10 cm) - π·(9 cm)

... = π·(10 -9) cm = π·1 cm ≈ 3.14 cm
