Question 891773: May you please help me and explain it to me thank you. A rectangle has a length of 6 cm and an area of 24 cm². If the radius of the circle is as long as the width of the rectangle, what is the circumference of the circle?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The width of the rectangle is 4 cm, which is given to be equal to the radius of the circle; radius of the circle is 4 cm. Now, circumference is 2%2Api%2Ar=2%2Api%2A4=highlight%288pi%29.

In case the initial part seems murky,
w%2AL=A for the rectangle; width, length, area.
You have w%2A6=24. Divide both sides by 6; and have w=24%2F6=4.
