Geometry and Trigonometry practice question
A circle has a diameter of 14. What is its circumference?
- A. 14πCorrect
- B. 7π
- C. 28π
- D. 49π
Answer: A. 14π
Circumference = π × diameter = 14π. (Or 2πr with r = 7.)
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. 7π
- 7π uses the radius in place of the diameter; C = 2πr = 14π.
- C. 28π
- 28π doubles the diameter, as if 14 were the radius.
- D. 49π
- 49π is πr², the AREA of the circle.
