Math Problem Statement

Work out the circumference, correct to 2 decimal places. (The diameter of the circle is 4 cm.)

Solution

To find the circumference of the circle shown in the image, where the diameter is given as 4 cm, we use the formula:

Circumference=π×diameter\text{Circumference} = \pi \times \text{diameter}

Here, the diameter dd is 4 cm. Therefore:

Circumference=π×4 cm=12.566370614359172 cm\text{Circumference} = \pi \times 4 \text{ cm} = 12.566370614359172 \text{ cm}

Rounded to two decimal places, the circumference is approximately 12.5712.57 cm.
