    When the circumference of a circle is increased from 10 pi inches to 15 pi inches, by how many inches is the radius increased? C = 2pir Smaller circle: 2pir = 10pi Divide each side by 2pi: r = 5 Larger circle: 2pir = 15pi Divide each side by 2pi: r = 7.5 Difference = 7.5 - 5 = 2.5 or 2&1/2

    When a circle's radius triples, what happens to its area?

    When a circle's radius triples, what happens to its area? A = πr^2 When r = 3r, then we have: a = π(3r)^2 A = 9(πr^2) This means Area increases by 9x

    A circle has a center at (6, 2) and passes through (9, 6)

    A circle has a center at (6, 2) and passes through (9, 6) The radius (r) is found by using the distance formula to get: r = 5 And the equation of the circle is found by using the center (h, k) and radius r as: (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2 (x - 6)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 5^2 (x - 6)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 25

    If the circumference of a circular rug is 16π feet, then what is the area of the rug in terms of pi

    If the circumference of a circular rug is 16π feet, then what is the area of the rug in terms of pi C = 2pir, so we have: C = 16π 16π = 2πr Divide each side by 2π: r = 16π/2π r = 8 Now, the area of a circle A is denoted below: A = πr^2 Given r = 8 from above, we have: A = π(8)^2 A = 64π
