Circles and Circumference
Example 1
For Exercises 1-3, refer to the circle at the right.
1. Name the circle. ⨀ T

2. Name the radii of the circle. JT , ¿ , MT , and KT

3. Name the chords of the circle. LM ∧¿ JK

For Exercises 4-8, refer to the circle at the right.

4. Name the circle. ⨀ T

5. Name the radii of the circle. ¿ , NT , and MT

6. Name the chords of the circle. JK and LM

7. Name a diameter of the circle. LM

8. Name a radius not drawn as part of a diameter. NT

Example 2
For Exercises 9-11, refer to ⨀ W .
9. If PS = 8 meters, find SW. 4 m

10. If WP = 12 inches, find QW and QR.

QW = 12 in.; QR = 24 in.

11. Is PS ≅ QR ? Explain.
Yes; all diameters of the same circle are congruent.

For Exercises 12-14, refer to ⨀ W .

12. Suppose the radius of the circle is 37 yards. Find the diameter. 74 yd

13. If RQ = 14 meters, find SW. 7 m

14. If QW = 33 inches, what is the diameter of ⨀ W ? 66 in.

Example 3
15. PONY RUN Amanda lets her new pony exercise by letting the pony run in circles
while attached to a rope, which Amanda holds in the center of the ring. If the
part of the rope between Amanda’s hand and the pony is 30 feet long, how far
does the pony run in one circle. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. 188.5
ft

16. STATE YOUR ASSUMPTION A roundabout is a circular

intersection of busy roads which allows traffic to cross with
minimal conflict. The diameter of this roundabout is 73 meters.
a. Find the radius of the roundabout. 36.5 m

b. What is the circumference of the roundabout to the nearest

tenth? 229.3 m

c. What assumptions must you make in solving this problem?

Sample answer: I assumed that the roundabout is a perfect
circle.

Example 4
Find the diameter and radius of a circle with the given circumference.
Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
17. C = 32 m 10.2 m; 5.1 m 18. C = 148.3 ft 47.2 ft; 23.6 ft

Example 5
