Problem solving with area and circumference of circles
Developed by MIT graduates, MathScore provides online math practice for Circle Circumference and hundreds of other types of math problems.
Circle Problems - Radius, Diameter, Circumference and Area
You can test this formula at home with a round dinner plate. Another way to write this formula is: This second formula is commonly used in problems where the diameter is given and the circumference is not known see the examples below.
Thus, the diameter of a circle is twice as long as the radius. This relationship is expressed in the following formula: Circumference, diameter and radii are measured in linear units, such as inches and centimeters.
Grade 8 Problems and Questions on Circles with Answers
A circle has many different radii and many different diameters, each passing through the center. A real-life example of a radius is the spoke of a bicycle wheel.
A 9-inch pizza is an example of a diameter: So a 9-inch pizza has a 9-inch diameter. Let's look at some examples of finding the circumference of a circle.

The diameter of a circle is twice the radius. Given the diameter or radius of a circle, we can find the circumference.
Circles: radius, diameter, circumference and PiWe can also find the diameter and radius of a circle given the circumference. The formulas for diameter and circumference of a circle are listed below. Read each question below.
