What is the circumference of the circle whose area is 24 cm^2.

Area of the circle is 24
cm^2.


We have to find the circumference of the
circle.


We use the  formula for area A and  circumference
C:


A = pi*r^2 and


C = 2pi*r,
where r is the radius of the circle.


So pir^2 = 24 cm^2
given.


 r^2 = (24/pi). So r =
(24/p)^(1/2).


We put r = (24/pi)^(1/2) in C = 2pi*r and
get:


So C = 2pi*r. So C = 2pi* (24/pi)^(1/2) =17.3664 cm
nearly.


Therefore the circumference =  17.
3664 cm.
