Your teacher will give you two circular objects.
-
Measure the diameter and the circumference of each circle to the nearest tenth of a centimeter. Record your measurements in the first two rows of the table.
object diameter (cm) circumference (cm) -
Plot your diameter and circumference values on the coordinate plane. What do you notice?
A coordinate plane with the origin labeled "O". The horizontal axis is labeled "diameter, in centimeters," and the numbers 0 through 25, in increments of 5, are indicated. The vertical axis is labeled "circumference, in centimeters," and the numbers 0 through 80, in increments of 10, are indicated. -
Find out the measurements from another group that measured different objects. Record their values in your table and plot them on your same coordinate plane.
