Math Problem Statement
What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 3 feet? Estimate the circumference to the hundredths place using 3.14 for π.
Solution
To calculate the circumference of a circle, the formula is:
Given that:
- The radius
- The approximation
We can substitute the values into the formula:
Let me calculate this.The estimated circumference of the circle is , rounded to the hundredths place.
Would you like more details or have any further questions?
Here are some related questions to explore:
- How would the circumference change if the radius was doubled?
- What would be the area of this circle using the same value of ?
- How does the formula for circumference relate to the formula for the area of a circle?
- Can you find the diameter of the circle from the given radius?
- How would the result differ if we used a more precise value of (such as 3.1416)?
Tip: Remember, the diameter of a circle is twice the radius, and you can directly use the diameter to find the circumference using .
