Calculate Circle Circumference: Using Given Radius Length of 8

Question

O is the center of the circle in the figure below.

888OOO What is its circumference?

Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Find the circumference of the circle
00:03 Radius - the line segment connecting the center of the circle with a point on its circumference
00:06 We will use the formula to calculate the circle's circumference
00:10 We will substitute the value of R and solve for the circumference
00:18 And this is the solution to the problem

Step-by-Step Solution

We use the formula:P=2πr P=2\pi r

We replace the data in the formula:P=2×8π P=2\times8\pi

P=16π P=16\pi

Answer

16π 16\pi cm
