On May 14, 1898, a severe hailstorm hit Kansas City. The largest hailstones were 9.5 inches in circumference. Find the radius of one of the largest hailstones. The formula for the circumference of a circle is c =2nr.
C = [tex] \pi [/tex]r 9.5 = 2[tex] \pi [/tex]r [tex] \pi [/tex]r = 4.75 r = 1.511971959 The number above should be rounded to the nearest 2 decimal places, so the answer is 1.51.
