What is diameter of circle if radius is 1.5?
A diameter of a circle is twice the length of a radius. Think of a diameter as two radii, both originating at the center of the circle and extending out at 180 degrees to each other to reach the edge of the circle. In this example, if the radius is 1.5, the diameter would be 3.
How do you find circumfrence?
The process you would use to find the circumference of a circle completely depends on what information you already have about the circle. For example, you might be given the circle's area, or its radius, or its diameter, or the length of one radian of arc along the circumference, and each of those would require a different method to find the circumference. The easiest example is the one where you know the circle's diameter. In that case, simply multiply the diameter by (pi) to get the circumference. The next easiest case is the one where you have the circle's radius ... let's say the radius is 1.5 meters. Knowing that the radius is half of the diameter, you first double the radius, and find that the diameter 3.0 meters. Then you get the circumference just as you did in the first example ... multiply the diameter by (pi). With a radius of 1.5 meter, you would find that the circumference is about 9.425 meters. (rounded)
How do you find the area of a circle that has no diameter?
The circle must have a diameter, so maybe your teacher just didn't tell you the diameter. In order to figure out the question, you need to know some information about the circle. Weather it's the radius, circumference, or diameter. So here's how you find area if you only have each of the three: 1. If you just have the radius, then square the radius. This means multiply radius times radius. Or say the radius is 4. Squaring it is 4 times 4. So once you find out the answer for radius squared, multiply radius squared by pi. (Probably use 3.14 for pi) Then there's your area. 2. If you only have the circumference of a circle, then you need to find the radius. In order to do that, you need to find the diameter. To find the diameter of a circle, you take the circumference and divide it by pi. (3.14) then you have your diameter. Since the radius is half the diameter, divide the diameter by 2. Then, once you find the radius, you may look at step 1 and use those steps to find out the area. Since your question is wondering how to find the area without knowing the diameter, then you can multiply the radius by 2 to find out the diameter. Even though you don't need to know the diameter to find the area. You just do (r times r) times pi (3.14)
Do concentric circles have the same circles?
No. You can only define a circle by radius, diameter, area, perimeter. Concentric circles have the same centre, therefore, if they were the same circles with the same radius, then they would all lie on top of each other and be effectively one circle.
Estimate the area of each circle use 3 to approximate 4 feet?
You don't mention whether the 4 feet is the circumference, diameter or radius. The area of a circle is pi times the radius squared. If 4 feet is the circumference, the area is about 1.3 feet squared. If 4 feet is the diameter, the area is about 12.6 feet squared. If 4 feet is the radius, the area is about 50.3 feet squared.
