Here we will answer the following three questions. a) What is 42Pi? (What is 42π?), b) What is the area of a circle if the radius is 42?, and c) What is the circumference of circle if the radius is 42?
42π is another way of writing 42 times Pi (42 x 3.14). Therefore, the answer to our first question is:
42π = 131.95
Area: Next, we will calculate the area of a circle if the radius is 42. The formula for the area of a circle is πr2, which means that the area of a circle with a radius of 42 is:
π422 = 5541.77
Circumference: Finally, we will calculate the circumference of a circle if the radius is 42. The formula for the circumference of a circle is 2πr, which means that the circumference of a circle with a radius of 42 is:
2π42 = 263.89
Note: π or Pi has an infinite number of decimals. For our calculations on this page with a radius of 42, we used Pi with eleven decimals as 3.14159265358 and then we rounded all our answers to two decimals.
Helpful Definitions:
Radius: The distance between the center of a circle to the edge of the circle. In our example on this page it was 42.
Diameter: The distance between one side of a circle to the exact opposite side of the circle. This is the same as 2 times radius. (For example, if the radius is 42, then the diameter must be 84.)
Pi: The ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. This is a fixed number regardless of circle size.
We used the following formulas on this page, where A is Area of circle, C is Circumference of circle, and r is radius:
A = πr2
C = 2πr
