Question

Mr. Lewis designed a circular walkway in
front of his house. The diameter of the walkway is
about 6 feet long. How does the diameter of the
walkway compare to its circumference?

Answer 1

Answer:

The diameter is equal to the circumference divided by the number pi

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The circumference of the circular walkway is equal to

$C=\pi D$

where

D is the diameter

we have

$D=6\ ft$

substitute

$C=\pi (6)$

$C=6\pi\ ft$

so

Divide the diameter by the circumference

$\frac{D}{C}=\frac{6}{6\pi}$

$\frac{D}{C}=\frac{1}{\pi}$

$D=\frac{C}{\pi}$

The diameter is equal to the circumference divided by the number pi
