Math Problem Statement

Find the circumference of circle C given that the radius of the circle is 6 cm. Type an exact answer in terms of pi.

Solution

The problem asks to find the circumference of circle CC given that the radius of the circle is 6 cm.

The formula to find the circumference CC of a circle is given by: C=2πrC = 2\pi r where rr is the radius of the circle.

Given: r=6 cmr = 6 \text{ cm}

Substituting the value of rr into the formula: C=2π×6=12π cmC = 2\pi \times 6 = 12\pi \text{ cm}

So, the exact circumference of circle CC is 12π12\pi cm.

Would you like further details or have any questions?

Here are some related questions:

  1. What is the area of circle CC with radius 6 cm?
  2. If the radius were doubled, what would the new circumference be?
  3. How would you calculate the circumference if given the diameter instead of the radius?
  4. What is the numerical value of the circumference if π\pi is approximated as 3.14?
  5. How does changing the radius affect the circumference of the circle?

Tip: Remember that the circumference of a circle is directly proportional to its radius, meaning that doubling the radius will double the circumference.
