Question : I know that the area for a circle is pi r squared and the circumference is 2 pi r but why?

Answer : The study of the circle goes back beyond recorded history. The invention of the wheel is a fundamental discovery of properties of a circle. The greeks considered the Egyptians as the inventors of geometry. The scribe Ahmes, the author of the Rhind papyrus, gives a rule for determining the area of a circle which corresponds to = 256/81 or approximately 3.16. The first theorems relating to circles are attributed to Thales around 650 BC. Book III of Euclid's Elementsdeals with properties of circles and problems of inscribing and escribing polygons. One of the problems of Greek mathematics was the problem of finding a square with the same area as a given circle. Several of the 'famous curves' in this stack were first studied in an attempt to solve this problem. Anaxagoras in 450 BC is the first recored mathematician to study this problem. The problem of finding the area of a circle led to integration. For the circle with formula given above the area is a and the length o.. Question : Find the positive numbers M and N so that the hyperbola y^2/M-x^2/N=1 has a center at the origin, distance between the vertices equal to 12 and the foci are 32 units from the center Please give detailed solution if possible. Thank you Answer : (check the original post of this problem) y^2 / 36 - x^2 / 988 = 1 has the desired properties work shown on previous post Question : circle T is (x-3)2 + y2 = 36 (the two after the 3 and the 2 after the y are squared.) 1) Find the radius 2) Find the coordinates of the circle 3) what is the are of the circle? how would you find the radius? Answer : 1) 6 2) there are infinite coordinates, if you mean the center then it's (3,0) 3) i'm assuming you meant area which is pi r ^2=113 unit squared
