Math Problem Statement

The circumference of a circle is 19π m. What is the area, in square meters? Express your answer in terms of piπ.

Solution

To find the area of a circle given its circumference, you can use the following steps:

Step 1: Recall the formulas

  • The formula for the circumference of a circle is: C=2πrC = 2\pi r where rr is the radius of the circle.

  • The formula for the area of a circle is: A=πr2A = \pi r^2

Step 2: Find the radius

Given the circumference C=19πC = 19\pi meters, you can solve for the radius rr: 2πr=19π2\pi r = 19\pi Now, divide both sides by 2π2\pi to solve for rr: r=19π2π=192=9.5 metersr = \frac{19\pi}{2\pi} = \frac{19}{2} = 9.5 \text{ meters}

Step 3: Calculate the area

Now that we have the radius, we can find the area AA: A=πr2=π(9.5)2A = \pi r^2 = \pi (9.5)^2 A=π×90.25=90.25π square metersA = \pi \times 90.25 = 90.25\pi \text{ square meters}

So, the area of the circle is 90.25π square meters.

Here are some related questions you might find interesting:

  1. What would the area be if the circumference were doubled?
  2. How does the area change if the radius is doubled?
  3. What is the diameter of the circle?
  4. How would the area change if the circumference were 10π meters?
  5. How do you calculate the area if the diameter is given instead of the circumference?

Tip: The relationship between circumference and radius is key to finding the area when you don't have the radius directly.
