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?
To solve this problem, we need to find the circumference of the circle and the perimeter of the square, and then compare the two.
Let's execute each step:
Step 1: Calculate the circle's circumference.
Given that the diameter cm, we use the formula for circumference:
Assuming , the circumference is:
Step 2: Calculate the square's perimeter.
Given that the side length cm, we use the formula for perimeter:
Calculate the perimeter:
Step 3: Compare the results.
Both the circle's circumference and the square's perimeter are .
Therefore, the solution to the problem is Same circumference.
Same circumference
\( r=2 \)
Calculate the circumference.
