The circumference of a circle exceeds the diameter by 16.8 cm. Find the circumference of the circle.
Given:
The circumference of a circle exceeds the diameter by 16.8 cm.
To do:
We have to find the circumference of the circle.
Solution:
Let the radius of the circle be $r$.
This implies,
Diameter of the circle $=2r$
We know that,
Circumference of a circle of radius $r=2 \pi r$
Therefore,
$2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r-2r=16.8\ cm$
$44r-14r=7 \times 16.8 \mathrm{~cm}$
$30r=117.6 \mathrm{~cm}$
$r=\frac{117.6}{30} \mathrm{~cm}$
$r=3.92 \mathrm{~cm}$
Circumference of the given circle $=2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 3.92 \mathrm{cm}$
$=44 \times 0.56 \mathrm{~cm}$
$=24.64 \mathrm{~cm}$
The circumference of the circle is $24.64\ cm$.
