The radius of one circle is twice the size of another circle’s radius.
Is the circumference of the first circle twice the circumference of the
other circle? Why or why not
..
Circumference of circle=2pi*radius
As you can see from this formula, circumference is directly proportional to radius, that is,
if you double the radius, the circumference is doubled.
