Using the formula C = 2πr, find the circumference of a circle with diameter of 28 inches. Round your answer to the nearest inch.
88 in, 44 in, 28 in, 56 in
Solution:
It is given that, the formula C = 2πr
The formula given to us relates circumference with radius but we are given diameter instead.
We know that diameter is twice the length of radius,
Given, diameter = 28,
Then, radius = 28/2 = 14.
Now we have to find the circumference:
C = 2(π)(14)
C = 87.96
This answer is close to 88.
Therefore, the circumference of a circle is 88 in.
Using the formula C = 2πr, find the circumference of a circle with diameter of 28 inches. Round your answer to the nearest inch.
Summary:
Using the formula C = 2πr, the circumference of a circle with diameter of 28 inches is 88 in.
