Find the area and the circumference of a circle with diameter 8cm.Write your answers in terms of π, and be sure to include the correct units in your answers.

We need to find the circumference and the area of a circle with a diameter of 8cm.
We know that the radius is half the diameter. Thus, the radius r of this circle is:
[tex]r=\frac{8\text{ cm}}{2}=4\text{ cm}[/tex]Now, the circumference C is given by:
[tex]\begin{gathered} C=2\pi r \\ \\ C=2\pi(4\text{ cm}) \\ \\ C=8\pi\text{ cm} \end{gathered}[/tex]And area A is given by:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\pi r^2 \\ \\ A=\pi(4\text{ cm})^2 \\ \\ A=16\pi\text{ cm}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Circumference: }8\pi\text{ cm} \\ \\ \text{ Area: }16\pi\text{ cm}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
