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.
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.
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 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
