Geometry and Trigonometry practice question

A circle's circumference is 10π. What is the radius of the circle?

Answer: 5

Circumference = 2πr, so 2r = 10 and r = 5.

Common wrong answers

If you answered 10
10 is 2r (the diameter); halve it for the radius.
If you answered 20
Divide 10π by 2π rather than multiplying.
If you answered 25
25 is r² if the AREA were 25π; circumference divides by 2π instead.
