Which of the following is the best approximation of the circumference of a circle whose diameter is 12 inches?

Respuesta :

To solve this problem, we need to remember the two possible formulas for finding the circumference of a circle, which are: C = 2πr and C=πd.

Because we are given the diameter in this example, we should use the C=πd formula. To solve, we simply need to plug in our value for the variable d (representing diameter).

C = πd

C = π(12 inches)

C = 12π inches, or approximately 37.68 inches (found by plugging in 3.14 for pi)

Therefore, the circumference is 12π or 37.68 inches.

Hope this helps!
