Why is the area of a circle with a circumference of 16 greater than the area of a square with sides of 4?

For any given perimeter, the circle contains the largest area. In 3-d, a sphere will contain the largest volume. Back tro 2-d, the increase in area you get from straightening out a circle is less than the amount of are that you lose.
In terms of formulae:
circumference = 16 = 2*pi*r
so r = 8/pi
Then area = pi*r2 = pi*64/pi2 = 64/pi = 20.372 sq units
Area of a square with sides 4 = 4*4 = 16 sq units

A circle is circumscribed about a square if the sides are 6 what is the approximate circumference of the circle?
The side of the square is 6. The diagonal of the square is 6 sqrt(2).The diagonal of the square is also the diameter of the circle.The circumference of the circle = pi times the diameter = 6 pi sqrt(2) = 26.657 (rounded)
Can you fit a circle with a circumference of 30 inches inside a square with an area of 100 inches squared?
Yes because the diameter of the circle is less than the sides of the square.
What is the number of sides has a circle?
A circle has only one side and it is its circumference
How do you find the radius of a circle without the diameter or circumference?
If you know the circle's area then the radius can be found: pi*radius2 = area Divide both sides by pi: radius2 = area/pi Square root both sides: radius = the square root of (area/pi)
If you have a square inscribed in a circle what is the diameter of the circle congruent to?
The sides of the Square.
What is called the length of the sides of a square and a circle?
Do you mean perimeter?The sum of the lengths of the four sides of a square is the perimeterThe total length of the circumference of a circle is its perimeter
How do you find the circumference of a circle if only the perimeter is given?
The perimeter of a circle is the circumference. If you mean the circle is drawn around (and touches the 4 corners of) a square, and you know the perimeter of the square, you divide the square's perimeter by 4, do pythagorean's theorem on the 2 sides (legs) to find the hypotenuse, and that hypotenuse will be the diameter of the circle. You then multiply that diameter you get by pi to get the circumference.

What is the circumference of a square?
Circumference refers to the distance around the outside of a circle. The distance around a square is its perimeter, which is the sum of the lengths of the four sides. Since all sides of a square are of the same length, the perimeter of a square is also four times the length of one side.
What is the number of sides has a circle?
A circle has only one side and it is its circumference
How do you find the radius of a circle without the diameter or circumference?
If you know the circle's area then the radius can be found: pi*radius2 = area Divide both sides by pi: radius2 = area/pi Square root both sides: radius = the square root of (area/pi)
How many sides does a sircle have?
A circle has one side which is its circumference.
If you have a square inscribed in a circle what is the diameter of the circle congruent to?
The sides of the Square.
Is a circle a 2 dimensional square?
NO. A square has 4 equal sides with the sides perpendicular each other. A circle has infinite sides.
Mark has a piece of string 12 inches long he shapes string into rectangle that encloses an area of 5 square inches Can Mark enclose a greater area with the same string If sowhat is the area?
If Mark makes a circle, that circle would have a circumference of 12 inches. The formula for circumference is pi times diameter, so the circumference divided by pi will give you the diameter of 3.82 inches. Divide this by 2 to get the radius of 1.91 inches. Area of a circle is pi times the radius squared. 1.91 squared is 3.6481. Multiply this by pi to get 11.46 square inches of area inside the circle. A circle is always the most efficient use of space possible given a fixed perimeter. If Mark makes a square with equal sides where all sides are 3 inches, the area would be 9 square inches. 3 X 3 = 9
How many sides a circle has?
One side and it is called the circumference.
