The difference between the circumference and the diameter of a circle is 24cm. Find the radius
Dear Student,
We have,
Circumference - Diameter = 24 cm
i.e. (2 * pi * r) - 2r = 24 cm ( because diameter = 2 * radius = 2 * r) ( taking radius = r )
2 * r * (pi - 1 ) = 24 cm
r * ( pi - 1) = 24/2 cm
r * ( 22/7 - 1) = 12 cm ( taking pi = 22/7 )
r * ( ( 22 - 7 )/7 ) = 12 cm
r * (15/7) = 12 cm
r = 12 * (7/15) cm
r = 5.6 cm
Therefore the radius of the circle is 5.6 cm.
Hope this information clears your doubts.
Regards
