A circle in a square 2020-04-02
From Sabra:
Hello, I have twins in the 7th grade that are learning how to find circumference of circles. I am struggling with figuring out how to help my children to find the answer to this question:

Tye has a square piece of yellow felt that has an area of 81 square inches. She wants to cut the largest circle possible from the material to create a sun for her art project. What is the area of the felt circle? Use 3.14 for pi. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.

I wasn't sure if I am to find the area of the circle through finding the area of the square or what steps we needed to follow to find the answer. Once I can see how one is worked out step-by-step, I usually can help them along with questions that are similar.

The area of a circle in terms of the circumference 2014-11-04
From Sarah:
How do you find the area of a circle if you already have the circumference? There was one answer to this question already but it didn't make sense to me, because they rounded up pi which you can't do so the answer is incorrect. thanks

The area of a circle knowing only the length of a chord 2007-09-05
From James:
I need some help in the right directions with a problem. I was presented with a problem where I need to find the area of a circle knowing only the length of a chord.

the is a circle in the center of a larger circle (which the size of either could change) the only thing that matter is that the chord is 100 ft long and rests on top of the smaller circle.
