Circle A has a diameter of 1 foot Circle B has a circumference of 1 meter Which circle is bigger Explain your reasoning 1 inch 254 centimeters class=

Respuesta :

The answer is:  Circle B is bigger than Circle A.

The explanation is shown below:

1. The formula that is used to calculate the circumference of a circle is:

[tex]C=2d[/tex]

Where [tex]d[/tex] is the diameter.

2. Therefore, you can solve for the diameter to calculate the diameter of Circle B:

[tex]d_B=\frac{C}{2}\\d_B=\frac{1m}{2}\\d_B=0.5m[/tex]

3. We know that 1 meter is 3.28 feet, therefore 0.5 meters is half 3.28 feet:

[tex]d_B=\frac{3.28ft}{2}=1.64ft[/tex]

4. As you can see, the diameter of Circle B is bigger, therefore, Circle B is bigger than Circle A.
