If the area of circle is 36∏ what is the diameter?
12
The formula for the area of a circle is A=∏r2 where r refers to the radius of the circle. The diameter of a circle (a straight line segment that goes from one edge of the circle to the other and passes through the center of the circle) is 2r, or two times the length of the radius. The circle shown in this problem has an area of 36∏. Plug that into the area formula and find the length of the circles radius.
36∏ = ∏r2
√36 = √r2
6=r multiply radius by 2 to get the diameter 6x2=12
