What happens to the circumference of a circle if you triple the radius?

Since circumference is proportional to the diameter (the proportionality is the definition of the irrational number pi) and the radius is just twice the diameter, if you triple the radius, you also triple the circumference.

If you triple the radius of a circle how is its circumference affected?
The circumference of a circle = 2*pi*r. if you triple r, the circumference is tripled also.
What happens if you triple the radius of a circle?
If you triple the radius of a circle . . . -- You should not expect anything to happen. Those around are likely to remain completely unaware that you have done anything to your circle. -- You wind up with a circle that's three times as big as it used to be. -- The diameter of the circle is three times the original diameter. -- The circumference of the circle is three times the original circumference. -- The area of the circle is nine times the original area.
What happens to the circumference when the diameter of a circle is doubled or triple?
The circumference is doubled or tripled, respectively.
What happens to the diamenter of a circle if you triple the radius?
It will be twice the size of the tripled radius
What happens if you triple the radius in a circle?
nothing you will just just get the radius in 3 circles.
What happens to the area of a circle if you triple a radius?
When you triple the radius of the circle . . . -- The diameter also triples. -- The circumference also triples. -- The area is multiplied by 9 .
If you triple the radius of a circle how is its circumference affected?
The circumference of a circle = 2*pi*r. if you triple r, the circumference is tripled also.
If the radius of a circle is tripled what happens to the circumference?
Circumference = pi x diameter so if the radius is 5 then the diameter is 10 Circumference = pi x 10 = 31.415 If we triple the radius to 15, then the diameter is 30, so Circumference = pi x 30 = 94.245 Which looks like triple the first circumference. So if the radius is tripled, the circumference is also tripled.
What happens if you triple the radius?
in what? a circle?
What happens if you triple the radius of a circle?
If you triple the radius of a circle . . . -- You should not expect anything to happen. Those around are likely to remain completely unaware that you have done anything to your circle. -- You wind up with a circle that's three times as big as it used to be. -- The diameter of the circle is three times the original diameter. -- The circumference of the circle is three times the original circumference. -- The area of the circle is nine times the original area.
What happens to the circumference when the diameter of a circle is doubled or triple?
The circumference is doubled or tripled, respectively.
What happens to the diamenter of a circle if you triple the radius?
It will be twice the size of the tripled radius
What happens if you triple the radius in a circle?
nothing you will just just get the radius in 3 circles.
If you triple the radius of a circle what happens to the area?
The result is 9 time the original.
When the radius of a circle is tripled what happens to the perimeter and area of the circle?
The perimeter would triple and the area would be multiplied by nine (32). Circumference (perimeter) is (2 x pi x r), so would be (6 x pi x r) for triple the radius, and area is (pi x r2), so would be (pi x 32 x r2) for triple the radius.
What if you triple the diameter of a circle what happens to the circumference?
The circumference is tripled.C=pi*d, so pi*(3d) = 3C, where d is diameter and C is circumference.
What happens to the area of a circle when the radius is triple?
The area increases as the square of the radius (or diameter). So if you double the radius you * 4 (quadruple) the area. Treble the radius, you *9 the area.
