You cannot really compare those two different kinds of values - it's quite nonsense to compare area versus circumference.

You could compare numbers but they'll vary depending on your choice of units.

Anyway, it's perfectly possible to have shape of area, say, 1 m2 and circumference measured in kilometers - if the shapes perimeter is ragged.

Yea

I disagree. to the answer above.

equations for solution are:

Circumference = 'pi' X 'diameter', or 'pi' x '2' x 'radius'

Area of a circle = 'pi' x 'radius^2'

example -> radius = 5

then,

circumference = '2' x '5' or '10'

and,

area = 'pi' x '5^2' or '25pi'

no because the circumference is half the diameter the circumference it may not be bigger than the diameter because the circumference is measure out side the circle and the diameter is measure inside the circle. the only one that can be bigger is the diameter can be bigger than the radius.It can be bigger 2 times.

How many times is the circumference bigger than the diameter of a circle?

The circumference of a circle is 3.14159… times, or pi times bigger than its diameter.


Is there any circle which diameter is bigger than its circumference?

No. The ratio of circumference to diameter for any circle is pi, which is approx 3.14 Consequently, the circumference of every circle is more than 3 times greater than its diameter. but i think it is not applicable for curve surface.


How does the change in the diameter affects the circumference?

It will make the circumference of the circle bigger or smaller


How many times is the circumference shorter than the diameter of a circle?

Given a diameter d, the circumference of a circle is Pi*d. Thus the circumference is Pi times larger than the diameter.


What happens to the circumference of a circle if its diameter is tripled in size?

9 times bigger

the earth is 49 times biggerThe earth is 81.3 times more massive than the moon.The earth's circumference and diameter are 3.67 times bigger than the moon's.49.3 moons would fit in the earth. (assuming they are not restricted to any specific shape.)


How do you get diameter from circumference?

Circumference is Pi x Diameter so do Circumference divided by Pi to get the diameter :)


If the circumference of a circle is 18.6 cm more than its diameter then what is the diameter of the circle?

8.68


How do you figure out diameter and circumference?

Circumference is pi times diameter. Diameter is circumference divided by pi. Diameter is twice the radius. Radius is half the diameter.


How do you find the diameter from the circumference?

Diameter = Circumference/pi


If you have your circumference how do you find the diameter?

diameter = circumference/pi


How many times longer is the circumference of a circle than its diameter?

It is larger than the diameter by a factor of Pi (about 3.1416).
