Question 11703: Please help me solve this geometry problem: The circumference of a circle is 14 pi inches. Find the circles radius and diameter. Found 2 solutions by askmemath, prabhjyot:Answer by askmemath(368) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Circumference = 2 x Pi x Radius
2 x Pi x Radius = 14Pi
Dividing both sides with 2 x Pi
Radius = 7
Diameter = 2 x Radius = 2 x 7
Diameter = 14
You can put this solution on YOUR website! circumference of a circle = pi*Diameter --->(1)
where pi= 3.14
Given circumference=14
plugging the values in equation(1)
14=pi*diameter
diameter= 14/pi
diameter= 4.45
radius= diameter/2=4.45/2= 2.22
