What is the diameter of a circle whose circumference is 5?

Answer 1

Aurora Ayala

The diameter is #35/22#.

The diameter of a circle is twice its radius.

We can find the radius of the circle by the equation

#"circumference" =2pir #

Now, just plug it in as #5 = 2pir#

#5=2*(22/7)r#

#r = 5*(1/2)*(7/22)#

#r = 35/44#

Since the diameter is twice the radius, #d = 35/44 * 2#

#d=35/22#

#"diameter "=5/pi~~1.59" to 2 dec. places"#

#"the circumference (C) of a circle is"#

#•color(white)(x)C=pidlarrcolor(blue)"d is the diameter"#

#"here "C=5#

#rArrpid=5#

#"divide both sides by "pi#

#(cancel(pi) d)/cancel(pi)=5/pi#

#rArrd=5/pi~~1.59" to 2 dec. places"#

To find the diameter of a circle when given its circumference, you can use the formula:

[ \text{Circumference} = \pi \times \text{diameter} ]

Given that the circumference is 5, you can rearrange the formula to solve for the diameter:

[ \text{diameter} = \frac{\text{Circumference}}{\pi} ]

Substitute the given circumference into the formula to find the diameter.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
