A circle has an area of 169 π in2. Which of the following is the circumference of the circle in terms of pi ( )?
A. 13 π in
B. 26 π in
C. 7.5 π in
D. 20 π in
We need to find the radius of the circle in order to find circumference of the circle. If we let r to be radius of the circle, then
Substituting 169π in place of area
Dividing both sides by pi and taking square root on both sides yields
The radius of the circle from the given area is 13 in. and the circumference of the circle is given by the relation:
Therefore, the Correct Answer is B.
