Perimeter Of Circle
perimeter of circle
perimeter of circle or circumference of the circle is defined as measurement of boundary length of the circle.
formula of circumference of the circle for radius R is 2piR,where R is radius of the circle and value of π is 3.14 or 22/7. The circumference of the circle for diameter D is πD.
Question for practice
Q1. Find circumference of the circle whose radius is 4cm.
solution: Radius R=4cm
circumference =2πR
=2*3.14*4 = 25.12cm
Q2. Find circumference of circle where diameter is 16cm.
solution: Diameter D=16cm
Radius R=16/2=8cm
circumference=2πR
=2*3.14*8=50.24 cm
Alternate Method : D=16cm
circumference=πD
=3.14*16=50.24cm
Q3. Find radius R where circumference is 50cm.
solution: C=50cm
C=2πR
50=2πR
50/2=πR
R=25/πcm
