Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The diameter of the circle is6 yards. The value of π\pi is3.143. The formulas for circumference and area of a circle are C=πdC = \pi d and A = \pi r^ respectively, where dd is the diameter and rr is the radius of the circle.

STEP 2

First, we need to find the radius of the circle. The radius is half the diameter.
r=d2r = \frac{d}{2}

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given value for the diameter to calculate the radius.
r=6yd2r = \frac{6 \, \mathrm{yd}}{2}

STEP 4

Calculate the radius.
r=6yd2=3ydr = \frac{6 \, \mathrm{yd}}{2} =3 \, \mathrm{yd}

STEP 5

Now that we have the radius, we can find the circumference of the circle using the formula C=πdC = \pi d.
C=πdC = \pi d

STEP 6

Plug in the values for π\pi and the diameter to calculate the circumference.
C=3.14×6ydC =3.14 \times6 \, \mathrm{yd}

STEP 7

Calculate the circumference.
C=3.14×6yd=18.84ydC =3.14 \times6 \, \mathrm{yd} =18.84 \, \mathrm{yd}

STEP 8

Now that we have the circumference, we can find the area of the circle using the formula A=πr2A = \pi r^2.
A=πr2A = \pi r^2

STEP 9

Plug in the values for π\pi and the radius to calculate the area.
A=3.14×(3yd)2A =3.14 \times (3 \, \mathrm{yd})^2

STEP 10

Calculate the area.
A=3.14×(3yd)2=28.26yd2A =3.14 \times (3 \, \mathrm{yd})^2 =28.26 \, \mathrm{yd}^2The circumference of the circle is 18.84yd18.84 \, \mathrm{yd} and the area is 28.26yd228.26 \, \mathrm{yd}^2.
