Example Question #1 : How To Find The Ratio Of Diameter And Circumference
What is the ratio of the diameter of a circle to the circumference of the same circle?
To find the ratio we must know the equation for the circumference of a circle. In this equation, is the circumference and is the diameter.
Once we know the equation, we can solve for the ratio of the diameter to circumference by solving the equation for . We do this by dividing both sides by .
Then we divide both sides by the circumference.
We now know that the ratio of the diameter to circumference is equal to .

What is the ratio of the diameter and circumference of a circle?
To find the ratio we must know the equation for the circumference of a circle is
Once we know the equation we can solve for the ratio of the diameter to circumference by solving the equation for
we divide both sides by the circumference giving us
We now know that the ratio of the diameter to circumference is equal to .
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Ratio Of Diameter And Circumference
Let represent the area of a circle and represent its circumference. Which of the following equations expresses in terms of ?
The formula for the area of a circle is , and the formula for circumference is . If we solve for C in terms of r, we get
.
We can then substitute this value of r into the formula for the area:
