Circumference of a circle = 2*pi*r


2 and pi are constant values. So the only way to increase the circumference is to increase the radius.


Area of a circle = pi%2Ar%5E2. If the radius increases then so does the area.


The statement is true. If the circumference of a circle increases then so does its area.
