Circle measures

Compare circumferences, areas, arcs and sectors. Change the radius or angle to test your reasoning.

Example

Example

Compare how area and circumference scale.

Circle B has 3 times the radius of circle A.

Both radii are positive.

ABr3r

Both circles use the same drawing scale.

Quantity A

Area of B ÷ area of A

Quantity B

Circumference of B ÷ circumference of A

Choose the relationship that must follow from the given information.

Choose an answer to try the example.

Help

Choose whether Quantity A is greater, Quantity B is greater, the quantities are equal, or the relationship cannot be determined. Use only the stated givens. A drawing shows one possible case.

Your first checked answer counts. A shown answer counts as 0 correct. A checked comparison is saved immediately, so you can explore afterward without losing your result. An unfinished comparison is not saved as a result.

After checking, use the controls to solve an exploration goal. When the relationship cannot be determined, save two valid cases with different comparisons. Open Go further to apply the idea to a new question. These activities are optional and do not change your score.

Angles and trigonometric functions use degrees. Levels increase the mathematical complexity; they do not measure IQ.
