Find the area/circumference of a circle Algebra II

Find the circumference of the circle defined as follows :

\left(x+2\right)^2+\left(y-2\right)^2=9

The circumference of a circle with radius r equals:

2\pi r

The equation of a circle has the form:

\left(x-h\right)^2+\left(y-k\right)=r^2

So we have r=3.

Therefore, the circumference of this circle is:

2\pi \times 3 = 6\pi

The circumference of the circle is 6\pi.

Find the area of the following circle:

-

The area of a circle with radius r equals:

\pi r^2

According to the graph, the radius of the circle is 3. Therefore, the area of this circle is:

\pi \times 3^2 = 9\pi

The circumference of the circle is 9\pi.

Find the circumference of the following circle:

-

The circumference of a circle with radius r equals:

2\pi r

According to the graph, the radius of the circle is 4. Therefore, the circumference of this circle is:

2\times\pi \times 4 = 8\pi

The circumference of the circle is 8\pi.

Find the circumference of the circle with radius 5.

The circumference of a circle with radius r equals:

2\pi r

Therefore, the circumference of this circle is:

2\pi \times 5 = 10\pi

The circumference of the circle is 10\pi.

Find the area of the circle with radius 4.

The area of a circle with radius r equals:

\pi r^2

Therefore, the area of this circle is:

\pi \times 4^2 = 16\pi

The circumference of the circle is 16\pi.

Find the area of the following circle:

\left(x-1\right)^2+\left(y-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2=\dfrac{1}{4}

The area of a circle with radius r equals:

\pi r^2

The equation of a circle has the form:

\left(x-h\right)^2+\left(y-k\right)=r^2

So we have r=\dfrac{1}{2}.

Therefore, the area of this circle is:

\pi \times \left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2 = \dfrac{1}{4}\pi

The circumference of the circle is \dfrac{1}{4}\pi.

Find the circumference of the circle with radius \dfrac{1}{2}.

The circumference of a circle with radius r equals:

2\pi r

Therefore, the circumference of this circle is:

2\pi \times \dfrac{1}{2} = \pi

The circumference of the circle is \pi.
