Math Problem Statement

Find the circumference of this circle. 9 cm Round your answer to 1d.p.

Solution

To find the circumference of a circle, we use the formula:

C=2πrC = 2 \pi r

where:

  • CC is the circumference,
  • rr is the radius of the circle,
  • and π\pi is approximately 3.1416.

Given the radius r=9cmr = 9 \, \text{cm}, we can substitute this into the formula:

C=2×3.1416×9C = 2 \times 3.1416 \times 9

Now, let's calculate the circumference:

C=2×3.1416×9=56.5488cmC = 2 \times 3.1416 \times 9 = 56.5488 \, \text{cm}

Rounded to one decimal place, the circumference is:

C56.5cmC \approx 56.5 \, \text{cm}

So, the circumference of the circle is approximately 56.5 cm.
