Math Problem Statement

Find the circumference and the area of a circle with radius 5 m. Write your answers in terms of π, and be sure to include the correct units in your answers.

Solution

Let's solve the problem step by step.

Given:

  • Radius r=5r = 5 meters.

(a) Circumference of the circle:

The formula for the circumference CC of a circle is: C=2πrC = 2 \pi r Substitute r=5r = 5 m: C=2π×5=10π metersC = 2 \pi \times 5 = 10 \pi \text{ meters}

(b) Area of the circle:

The formula for the area AA of a circle is: A=πr2A = \pi r^2 Substitute r=5r = 5 m: A=π×52=π×25=25π square metersA = \pi \times 5^2 = \pi \times 25 = 25 \pi \text{ square meters}

Final Answers:

  • Circumference: 10π10 \pi meters.
  • Area: 25π25 \pi square meters.

Do you have any questions or would you like further explanation?

Here are 5 related questions to consider:

  1. How would the circumference change if the radius was doubled?
  2. What is the diameter of the circle with a radius of 5 meters?
  3. How would the area change if the radius was halved?
  4. Can you calculate the exact numerical values of the circumference and area if π\pi is approximated to 3.14?
  5. What is the relationship between the radius and the area of a circle?

Tip: Always remember to keep units consistent when solving geometry problems, especially for measurements like area and circumference.
