The area of circle B is 144 pi ft². Find the circumference of circle B.
Data:
\(A_{cB} = 144 \pi ft^2\)
Circumference length = ?
Note¹: Knowing that the area of the circle "B" is calculated by the following formula: \(A_{cB} = \pi *r^2\), using the data we have will find the value of the radius.
Data: \(A_{cB} = 144 \pi ft^2\)
Solving:
\(A_{cB} = \pi *r^2\)
\(144 \pi = \pi *r^2\)
\(\pi *r^2 = 144 \pi\)
\(r^2 = \frac{144 \diagup\!\!\!\!\!\pi }{ \diagup\!\!\!\!\!\pi }\)
\(r = \sqrt{144}\)
\(\boxed{r = 12\:ft}\)
Note²: Now, we will find the size of the circumference with the data already collected, so we will have:
Formula: \(C = 2* \pi *r\)
Adopting: \(\pi \approx 3.14\)
Solving:
\(C = 2* \pi *r\)
\(C = 2* 3.14 *12\)
\(\boxed{\boxed{C \approx 75.36\:ft}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark\)
The area of circle B of radius 12 ft is 144 pi ft² then the circumference of circle B would be equal to 75.36 ft.
The circumference of the circle that has a radius of r is defined as the product of diameter to the pie value.
The circumference of the circle = 2πr
The area of circle B is given as 144 pi ft². We need to find the circumference of the circle.
The area of the circle = \(\pi r^{2}\)
144 π ft² = \(\pi r^{2}\)
144 = r^2
r = √144
r = 12 ft
Now,
The circumference of the circle = 2πr
= 2 x π x r
= 2 x 3.14 x 12
= 75.36
Thus, the circumference of circle B is 75.36 ft.
