1. Problem Description

We are asked to solve three separate math problems:
Problem 4: Given a circle with a diameter of 4 cm, find the radius.
Problem 5: In a circle, if AY=16AY=16 cm, find ACAC and BXBX.
Problem 6: Given a circle with a radius of 9 m, find the exact circumference in terms of π\pi and approximate the circumference using a calculator, rounded to the nearest hundredth.

2. Solution Steps

Problem 4:
The radius of a circle is half of its diameter. Given that the diameter is 4 cm, the radius is 42\frac{4}{2} cm.
Problem 5:
AYAY is a chord and ACAC is a diameter. Also, XX is on the circle and thus AXCAXC is an inscribed angle subtending a diameter, hence it is a right angle.
Because AYAY is a chord and ACAC is a diameter, we can use properties of right triangles inscribed in circles. However, without more information about YY, BB, or XX relationship to the circle, we cannot simply determine AC and BX. Given AY=16AY=16cm, consider if AY=AXAY=AX. Since the angle subtended by ACAC is 90 degrees, then AYCAYC forms a right triangle. If AY=YCAY=YC, then angle YAC=45YAC=45 degrees. Thus AC=AY2AC = AY\sqrt{2}.
AC=16222.63AC = 16\sqrt{2} \approx 22.63.
ACAC is also a diameter.
BXBX is part of the diameter. If B is the center of the circle, BXBX is the radius which is half of ACAC.
BX=1622=8211.31BX=\frac{16\sqrt{2}}{2}=8\sqrt{2} \approx 11.31.
Assuming BB is the center, and since we are given that AY=16AY = 16 cm, we need to find ACAC and BXBX.
Since points A,X,CA, X, C lie on the circle, and the angle AXC=90\angle AXC = 90^{\circ}, then ACAC is a diameter. The triangle AXCAXC is a right triangle. Since we are only given AY=16AY = 16, we cannot directly find the diameter ACAC or BXBX which is the radius. This problem may be missing key information. It looks like we can infer AY=AXAY = AX.
If we assume that AX=16AX = 16, then AC=162AC = 16\sqrt{2}. So AC22.63AC \approx 22.63 cm.
Then BX=AC2BX = \frac{AC}{2}, so BX=8211.31BX = 8\sqrt{2} \approx 11.31 cm.
Problem 6:
The radius of the circle is 9 m.
(a) The formula for the circumference CC of a circle is C=2πrC = 2\pi r, where rr is the radius.
In this case, r=9r = 9 m, so the circumference is C=2π(9)=18πC = 2\pi(9) = 18\pi m.
(b) Using a calculator, we can approximate 18π18\pi.
18π56.5486677646...18\pi \approx 56.5486677646...
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, we get 56.5556.55 m.

3. Final Answer

Problem 4: 2 cm
Problem 5:
AC=162AC = 16\sqrt{2} cm 22.63\approx 22.63 cm
BX=82BX = 8\sqrt{2} cm 11.31\approx 11.31 cm
Problem 6:
(a) 18π18\pi m
(b) 56.55 m
