Is the circumference always longer than the diameter of a circle?
Yes, always
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.
Why is measuring the diameter of a circle easier than measuring the its circumference?
Because the diameter is a straight line.
If circle circumference is 255meters find the diameter?
81.2m (approx). 'Pi' (approx 3.142 ) is the quantity that expresses the relationship between the diameter of a circle and its circumference. ie. the circumference is 3.142 times greater than the diameter. To solve your problem, divide 255 metres by 3.142
How many times larger is the circumference than the diameter?
3.14 or pi
Is the circumference always longer than the diameter of a circle?
Yes, always
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).
Is circumference shorter or longer then radius or diameter?
It's longer than both. The circumference - is the distance around the circle... The diameter - is the distance across the circle, passing through the centre... The radius - is the distance from the centre of the circle to the edge.
Which dimensions of a circle is always smaller than the other two?
A circle's radius is always smaller than both its diameter and its circumference.
What does pi actually represent?
Generally, Pi is used to represent the rate of change of the circumference of a circle as it's diameter increases. This can be shown using the equation [circumference = Pi * diameter], that is the circumference of a circle is always Pi times larger than it's diameter.
What is the difference between diameter and circumference?
Diameter is the distance across a circle through the center. Circumference is the distance around the outside of a circle. Circumference is always pi (3.14) times larger than diameter.Note:pi is approximately 3.14
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.
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 the circumference of a circle greater than less than or equal to the perimiter of a semi circle?
The circumference is pi x diameter Perimeter of semi circle is (0.5) x pi x diameter + diameter which is diameter x (0.5pi + 1) Subtracting Perimeter from Circumference we get [pi x diameter] - [diameter x (0.5pi + 1)] which is diameter x [pi - 0.5pi -1] pi = 3.1415 Hence the result = diameter x (3.1415 - 1.570 - 1) which will always be positive. Hence circumference is greater than perimeter of semi circle. Intuitively also we see that the diameter is a straight line and the semi circles are arcs over the end points of the 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.
If the circumference of a circle is 18.6 cm more than its diameter then what is the diameter of the circle?
8.68
Why is measuring the diameter of a circle easier than measuring the its circumference?
Because the diameter is a straight line.
