Indicate the type of units that could be associated with measuring circumference. Circle all that apply.
A.ft B.m² C.Liters. D.Meters
E.Grams F.in.² G. Miles
H.Kilometers I.Cubic Centimeters
We'll be glad to check your answers.
I believe A,B,D,F,G,H and I because C and E is measured by volume. True?
circumference is a linear measurement, so
you can immediately rule out any area or volume.
the linear units I see are
feet, metres, miles, and kilometres
How about F. in, wouldn't that be considered a linear measurement as well?
Inches squared is an area, not a linear measurement.
Ok thank you. I'll Google it and look into it further.
To determine the units that could be associated with measuring circumference, let's start by understanding what circumference is. The circumference is the distance around the outside of a shape, particularly a circle.
To measure circumference, we need to consider the unit of length since we are measuring distance. Let's eliminate options that are not suitable for measuring length:
A. ft (feet) - This is a unit of linear measurement suitable for measuring length.
B. m² (square meters) - This is a unit for measuring area, not length. Exclude this option.
C. Liters - Liters are used to measure volume, not length. Exclude this option.
D. Meters - Meters are a unit of linear measurement suitable for measuring length.
E. Grams - Grams are a unit of mass, not length. Exclude this option.
F. In.² (square inches) - This is a unit for measuring area, not length. Exclude this option.
G. Miles - Miles are a unit of linear measurement suitable for measuring length.
H. Kilometers - Kilometers are a unit of linear measurement suitable for measuring length.
I. Cubic centimeters - Cubic centimeters are used to measure volume, not length. Exclude this option.
Therefore, the units that could be associated with measuring circumference are A. ft, D. meters, G. miles, and H. kilometers.
