Math Problem Statement
- If a circle has the diameter of 8, what is the circumference? A. 6.28 B. 12.56 C. 25.13 D. 50.24 E. 100.48
Solution
The formula for the circumference of a circle is given by:
where is the diameter of the circle.
Given the diameter :
Approximating as 3.14:
Thus, the closest answer is:
C. 25.13
