1. The problem
Worked example
A circle has radius 3. Find its radius, diameter, circumference and area.
2. Step by step
1. $d = 2r = 6$
  Diameter
2. $C = 2\pi r = 2\pi \cdot 3 = 6\pi \approx 18.84955592$
  Circumference
3. $A = \pi r^2 = \pi \cdot 3^2 = 9\pi \approx 28.27433388$
  Area
3. The answer
$r = 3$
r = 3, C = 6π ≈ 18.84955592, A = 9π ≈ 28.27433388
4. Check
- C/d = 3.141592654 = π.
- A = C·r/2 = 28.27433388.

Transcript

The problem. Here is the problem: A circle has radius 3. 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. Diameter. Circumference. Area.

The answer. So the answer is r equals 3, d equals 6, C equals 6pi approximately 18.84955592, A equals 9pi approximately 28.27433388. 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 28.27433388.
