Question

Crater Lake in Oregon is shaped like a circle with a diameter of about 5.5 miles

a. How far is it around the perimeter of Crater Lake

b. What is the area of the surface of Crater Lake?

Give a step by step explanation please

Answer 1

The perimeter of a circle is calculated with 2πr

The r stands for radius. The radius is half of the diameter.

So r=2.25

Plug it in 2π(2.25)

It was simplify to 4.5π

Which would simplify down to 14.14 miles rounding to the nearest hundredth.
