Things to keep in mind while working backwards with circumference
- Firstly, determine the radius or diameter of the circle. If not given, use the value of circumference to find the radius and diameter.
- Secondly, use the circumference formula to get an appropriate result.
- The circumference of a circle is 2 Πr. The value of Π is constant i.e 3.14 or 22/7.
Here is an example to solve the problem of working backward with the circumference. Let’s look at the given example mentioned below to understand more about the concept.
Circumference of a Circle = 2 Πr Where, r = radius of the circle. Π = pi i.e. constant. |
Q. Find the radius of the circle whose circumference is 157 units.
Step 1: Note the value of the circumference of a circle.
Circumference of the circle = 157 units.
Step 2: Use the circumference formula to identify the radius of the circle.
So,
Circumference of a circle = 2 Πr
157 = 2 * 3.14 * r
157 = 6.28 * r
R = 157 / 6.28 = 25 cm.
Hence, the radius of the circle is 25 cm.
