GUATEMALA CITY - Torrential rains brought by the first tropical storm of the 2010 season pounded Central America and southern Mexico, triggering deadly landslides. The death toll stood at 15 Sunday but authorities said the number could rise.
Archimedes proved the formula for the area of a circle (A = Ï r 2, where r is the radius of the circle) and showed that the value of Ï lay between 3 + 1/7 (approximately 3.1429) and 3 + 10/71 (approximately 3.1408).
The radius is half as long as the diameter, so the diameter can be thought of as 2r. Keeping this in mind, you can write down the formula for finding the circumference of a circle given the radius: C = 2Ïr. In this formula, r represents the radius of the circle.
