For the given circle, which of these choices is true regarding its circumference and area?
A.
The circumference is larger, and it is two times the area.
B.
The area is larger, and it is two times the circumference.
C.
The area is larger, and it is four times the circumference.
D.
The circumference is larger, and it is four times the area.
Since the circumference of a circle is directly proportional to its radius, and the area is proportional to the square of the radius, the circumference will always be larger than the area for a given circle.
So, the correct statement is:
A. The circumference is larger, and it is two times the area.
