The equation for circumference is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"c=2%28pi%29r\"
\n" ); document.write( "The equation for area is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"a=%28pi%29r%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "First, we'll find the circumference.
\n" ); document.write( "The 'r' in the equation stands for radius. The radius of a circle is half of its diameter, so the circle's radius is half of 6--3 inches.
\n" ); document.write( "So, we can substitute 3 in for 'r' and 3.14 in for \"pi\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c=2%28pi%29r\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c=2%2A3.14%2A3\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then, we can simply multiply.
\n" ); document.write( "\"c=2%2A3.14%2A3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c=18.84\"
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the circumference of the circle is 18.84
\n" ); document.write( "Next, we'll find the circle's area.
\n" ); document.write( "Again, we can substitute 3 in for 'r' and 3.14 in for \"pi\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a=%28pi%29r%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a=3.14%2A3%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "The, we'll square three and multiply.
\n" ); document.write( "\"a=3.14%2A3%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a=3.14%2A9\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a=28.26\"
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the circumference is 18.84 and the area is 28.26.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
