In a circle, the circumference and diameter vary directly. Which of the following equations would allow you to find the diameter of a circle with a circumference of 154 if you know that in a second circle the diameter is 14 when the circumference is 44?
d=kC
Plug in what we know and solve for k:
14=k(44)
k=14/44
so
d=(14/44)(154)
x=49
Answer:
\(d=\frac{7}{22}\times 154=49\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let circumference be C and diameter be d.
In a circle, the circumference and diameter vary directly that is
C = kd
You know that in a second circle the diameter is 14 when the circumference is 44.
C = kd
44 = k x 14
\(k=\frac{44}{14}=\frac{22}{7}\)
Circumference of unknown diameter circle = 154
\(154=\frac{22}{7}d\\\\d=\frac{7}{22}\times 154 = 49\)
