Question

While working at a bakery, you are responsible for decorating cakes. You would like to add a string of flowers to the border of a
round cake you are decorating. The cake has a radius of 14 inches,
What is the length, to the nearest inch, of the string of flowers you will need?

Answer 1

Answer: $88\ inches$

Step-by-step explanation :

You need to use the formula for calculate the circumference of a circle. This is:

$C=2\pi r$

Where "r" is the radius of the circle.

In this case, you know that the radius of the cake is 14 inches:

$r=14\ in$

Therefore, in order to calculate the lenght of the string of flowers you will need, you need to substitute the radius into the formula for calculate the circumference of a circle.

Then, this is (rounded to the nearest inch):

$C=2\pi (14\ in)=88\ in$
