1. The problem
Worked example
A circle has diameter 20. Find its radius, diameter, circumference and area.
2. Step by step
1. $r = \frac{d}{2} = 10$
  Radius from the diameter
2. $C = 2\pi r = 2\pi \cdot 10 = 20\pi \approx 62.83185307$
  Circumference
3. $A = \pi r^2 = \pi \cdot 10^2 = 100\pi \approx 314.1592654$
  Area
3. The answer
$r = 10$
r = 10, C = 20π ≈ 62.83185307, A = 100π ≈ 314.1592654
4. Check
- C/d = 3.141592654 = π.
- A = C·r/2 = 314.1592654.

Transcript

The problem. Here is the problem: A circle has diameter 20. Find its radius, diameter, circumference and area. Find the radius, diameter, circumference and area of a circle from any one of them.

Step by step. Radius from the diameter. Circumference. Area.

The answer. So the answer is r equals 10, d equals 20, C equals 20pi approximately 62.83185307, A equals 100pi approximately 314.1592654. Every measurement of a circle follows from its radius. The circumference grows in proportion to the radius and the area in proportion to its square.

Check. C/d equals 3.141592654 equals pi. A equals C times r/2 equals 314.1592654.
