Math Problem Statement
The radius of a circle measures 4 ft. What is the circumference of the circle? Use 3.14 for π, and do not round your answer.
Solution
To find the circumference of the circle, we can use the formula:
where:
- is the circumference,
- (as given),
- is the radius of the circle, which is 4 feet.
Now let's calculate the circumference:
I'll compute this for you.The circumference of the circle is .

Here are five related questions for further exploration:
- How would the circumference change if the radius were doubled?
- What is the formula for the area of the same circle?
- How is the circumference formula derived from the properties of a circle?
- How can you calculate the diameter of a circle if only the circumference is known?
- What is the difference between the circumference and perimeter?
Tip: Remember, the diameter of a circle is twice the radius, and the circumference can also be calculated as .
