So this question is using the idea of direct variation along with geometry to look at a circle's circumference with respect to its radius.
00:16
So we remember from geometry that c, the circumference of a circle, is equal to 2 pi times the radius.
00:27
So if we wanted to find the circumference of any circle, we could use this formula here.
00:41
And what that formula is actually telling us is that if we were to look at the measurements of the circumference and a circle that c, the circumference is 2 pi times.
01:04
The size of the radius.
01:16
And since there is this constant ratio or proportion between the circumference and the radius of a circle, then it would be correct or true to say that c is changing proportionally to the radius.
01:42
There is a constant rate of change.
01:55
So it would be true to say that.
02:01
So really what this means is that for any change in r, for any change in the radius, and we use this, it looks like a triangle, it's a symbol delta, that for any change in r, we know that that change is going to be multiplied by 2 pi, no matter how much that change is because of this constant rate of change that we have going on in this situation.
02:34
Now, if we wanted to look instead at the diameter of a circle instead of its radius, the diameter is twice the length of the radius.
02:48
So if we wanted to write the circumference, which we know our formula for that is 2 .5.
02:54
Pi r.
02:55
If we wanted to write a formula for the circumference in terms of the diameter, i'm going to rearrange this a little bit.
03:02
I'm going to put the pie in front here...
