Exercise #2

The diameter of a circle is 8 centimeters.

The sides of a square are 6.28 centimeters long.

Which shape has the larger circumference or perimeter?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to find the circumference of the circle and the perimeter of the square, and then compare the two.

  • Step 1: Calculate the circumference of the circle
  • Step 2: Calculate the perimeter of the square
  • Step 3: Compare the results

Let's execute each step:

Step 1: Calculate the circle's circumference.
Given that the diameter d=8 d = 8 cm, we use the formula for circumference:
C=πd=π×8 C = \pi d = \pi \times 8

Assuming π3.14 \pi \approx 3.14 , the circumference is:
C=3.14×8=25.12cm C = 3.14 \times 8 = 25.12 \, \text{cm}

Step 2: Calculate the square's perimeter.
Given that the side length s=6.28 s = 6.28 cm, we use the formula for perimeter:
P=4s=4×6.28 P = 4s = 4 \times 6.28

Calculate the perimeter:
P=4×6.28=25.12cm P = 4 \times 6.28 = 25.12 \, \text{cm}

Step 3: Compare the results.
Both the circle's circumference and the square's perimeter are 25.12cm 25.12 \, \text{cm} .

Therefore, the solution to the problem is Same circumference.

Exercise #3

The diameter of a circle is 10 centimeters.

The length of the side of a square is 10 centimeters.

Which shape has a larger perimeter/circumference?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll compare the circumference of a circle with a given diameter to the perimeter of a square with a given side length.

  • Step 1: Calculate the circumference of the circle.
  • Step 2: Calculate the perimeter of the square.
  • Step 3: Compare the two results.

Let's work through these steps:

Step 1:
The formula for the circumference of a circle is C=π×d C = \pi \times d . Given that the diameter d=10 d = 10 cm, we substitute to find the circumference:

C=π×103.14159×10=31.4159 C = \pi \times 10 \approx 3.14159 \times 10 = 31.4159 cm.

Step 2:
The formula for the perimeter of a square is P=4×side length P = 4 \times \text{side length} . With a side length of 10 cm, we compute the perimeter:

P=4×10=40 P = 4 \times 10 = 40 cm.

Step 3:
Now, compare the results:

- Circumference of the circle: 31.4159 cm
- Perimeter of the square: 40 cm

Since 40 cm (square) is much larger than 31.4159 cm (circle), we conclude that the square has a larger perimeter than the circle has circumference.

Therefore, the correct answer is the square.

Answer

Exercise #4

The radius of a circle is 3 cm.

Dimensions of a rectangle are 7 cm by 3 cm.

Which shape has a greater perimeter/circumference?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine which shape has the greater perimeter or circumference, we begin by calculating each as follows.

Step 1: Calculate the circumference of the circle.
The formula for the circumference C C of a circle is C=2πr C = 2\pi r .
Given the radius r=3 r = 3 cm, we have:

C=2π×3=6πcm C = 2\pi \times 3 = 6\pi \, \text{cm}

Step 2: Calculate the perimeter of the rectangle.
The formula for the perimeter P P of a rectangle is P=2(l+w) P = 2(l + w) , where l l is the length and w w is the width.
Given the dimensions l=7 l = 7 cm and w=3 w = 3 cm, we have:

P=2(7+3)=2×10=20cm P = 2(7 + 3) = 2 \times 10 = 20 \, \text{cm}

Step 3: Compare the circumference and the perimeter.
The calculated circumference of the circle is 6π18.85cm 6\pi \approx 18.85 \, \text{cm} (using π3.1416 \pi \approx 3.1416 ).
The perimeter of the rectangle is 20cm 20 \, \text{cm} .

Since 20cm>6πcm18.85cm 20 \, \text{cm} > 6\pi \, \text{cm} \approx 18.85 \, \text{cm} , the rectangle has a greater perimeter than the circumference of the circle.

Therefore, the shape with the greater perimeter/circumference is the rectangle.

Answer

Exercise #5

The diameter of circle A is 8 centimeters.

The diameter of circle B is 2 centimeters.

Which circle has a larger circumference?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's solve the problem step-by-step:

  • Step 1: Calculate the circumference of circle A.
  • Step 2: Calculate the circumference of circle B.
  • Step 3: Compare the circumferences to determine which is larger.

Now, let's calculate each one:

Step 1: The circumference of circle A is calculated as follows:

Using the formula C=π×d C = \pi \times d ,

CA=π×8=8π C_A = \pi \times 8 = 8\pi cm.

Step 2: The circumference of circle B is calculated in the same manner:

Using the same formula C=π×d C = \pi \times d ,

CB=π×2=2π C_B = \pi \times 2 = 2\pi cm.

Step 3: Compare the circumferences:

Since 8π 8\pi cm (Circle A) is clearly greater than 2π 2\pi cm (Circle B), the circle with a larger circumference is Circle A.

Therefore, the circle with a larger circumference is Circle A.

Answer

Circle A

Exercise #6

The radius of a circle is 3 centimeters.

The length of the side of a square is 7 centimeters.

Which shape has a larger perimeter/circumference?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem of determining which shape has a larger perimeter or circumference, let's apply the necessary formulas:

The given information is as follows:

  • Radius of the circle: r=3cm r = 3 \, \text{cm}
  • Side length of the square: s=7cm s = 7 \, \text{cm}

Step 1: Calculate the circumference of the circle

The formula for the circumference of a circle is C=2πr C = 2 \pi r . Thus, substituting the given radius, we get:

C=2π(3)=6π C = 2 \pi (3) = 6 \pi

Using an approximation for π3.14159\pi \approx 3.14159, the circumference is:

C6×3.1415918.84954cm C \approx 6 \times 3.14159 \approx 18.84954 \, \text{cm}

Step 2: Calculate the perimeter of the square

The formula for the perimeter of a square is P=4s P = 4s . Substituting the given side length, we find:

P=4×7=28cm P = 4 \times 7 = 28 \, \text{cm}

Step 3: Compare the perimeter of the square and the circumference of the circle

The calculated circumference of the circle is approximately 18.85cm 18.85 \, \text{cm} , and the perimeter of the square is 28cm 28 \, \text{cm} .

Upon comparison, 28cm 28 \, \text{cm} (perimeter of the square) is greater than 18.85cm 18.85 \, \text{cm} (circumference of the circle).

Therefore, the shape with the larger perimeter/circumference is the square.

Answer

The circle

Exercise #7

The radius of a circle is 5 centimeters.

The length of the side of a rectangle is 5 centimeters.

Which shape has a greater perimeter/circumference?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll first calculate the circumference of the circle and then consider the implications for calculating the perimeter of the rectangle:

The formula to calculate the circumference of a circle is:

C=2πr C = 2\pi r

where r r is the radius. Given r=5 r = 5 cm, the circumference of the circle is:

C=2π×5=10π C = 2\pi \times 5 = 10\pi cm

For the rectangle, we need both the lengths to determine its perimeter. Since only one side length of 5 cm is provided and the other is not given or inferable, we cannot determine the rectangle's perimeter precisely.

Therefore, without the missing side length of the rectangle, it is impossible to make a comparison between the two perimeters definitively.

Thus, the correct choice is: Impossible to know.

Answer

Impossible to know

Exercise #8

Look at the four figures below.

Which one has the largest perimeter/circumference?

1010102224444445557775552r=14

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the perimeters and circumference of the provided figures:

  • **Perimeter of the Rectangle**: Given length l=10l = 10 and width w=2w = 2. Prectangle=2(l+w)=2(10+2)=2×12=24 units P_{\text{rectangle}} = 2(l + w) = 2(10 + 2) = 2 \times 12 = 24 \text{ units}
  • **Perimeter of the Square**: Each side s=4s = 4. Psquare=4×s=4×4=16 units P_{\text{square}} = 4 \times s = 4 \times 4 = 16 \text{ units}
  • **Perimeter of the Trapezoid**: Bases are 7 and 4, sides are both 5. Ptrapezoid=7+4+5+5=21 units P_{\text{trapezoid}} = 7 + 4 + 5 + 5 = 21 \text{ units}
  • **Circumference of the Circle**: Diameter d=14d = 14, so radius r=d2=7r = \frac{d}{2} = 7. Ccircle=2πr=2π×7=14π43.98 units C_{\text{circle}} = 2\pi r = 2\pi \times 7 = 14\pi \approx 43.98 \text{ units}

Now, comparing the values: - Rectangle: 24 units - Square: 16 units - Trapezoid: 21 units - Circle: approximately 43.98 units

Therefore, the circle has the largest perimeter or circumference.

The correct answer is The circle \text{The circle} .

Exercise #9

Look at the triangle and circle below.

Which has the larger perimeter/circumference?

666555666444AAABBBCCCOOODDD

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine which has the larger measurement, the triangle's perimeter or the circle's circumference, we need to compute both values.

Step 1: Calculate the perimeter of the Triangle
We are given two sides of the triangle: 6 and 5. Since it's implied to be a right triangle, we apply the Pythagorean theorem to find the third side, the hypotenuse c c :

c=62+52=36+25=61 c = \sqrt{6^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{36 + 25} = \sqrt{61}

The perimeter P P of the triangle is:

P=6+5+6111+7.81=18.81 P = 6 + 5 + \sqrt{61} \approx 11 + 7.81 = 18.81

Step 2: Calculate the circumference of the Circle
The circumference C C of a circle with radius r r is given by the formula:

C=2πr C = 2 \pi r

Assuming the radius of the circle is equivalent to the '6' mentioned for the green line in the SVG:

C=2π×637.7 C = 2 \pi \times 6 \approx 37.7

Step 3: Compare the Triangle's Perimeter and the Circle's Circumference
We compare the values:

  • Perimeter of the Triangle: P18.81 P \approx 18.81
  • Circumference of the Circle: C37.7 C \approx 37.7

The circumference of the circle (37.7) is greater than the perimeter of the triangle (18.81).

Therefore, the circle has the larger measurement.

Conclusion: The circle has the larger perimeter.
