Math Problem Statement

The diameter of a circle is 184 m. Find the circumference to the nearest whole number.

Solution

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

C=πdC = \pi d

where:

  • d=184d = 184 m (given diameter)
  • π3.1416\pi \approx 3.1416

Now, calculate:

C=3.1416×184C = 3.1416 \times 184

C577.05C \approx 577.05

Rounding to the nearest whole number:

C577 mC \approx 577 \text{ m}

Final Answer: 577 meters

  1. How do you find the circumference if only the radius is given?
  2. What is the formula for the area of a circle?
  3. How does changing the diameter affect the circumference?
  4. What is the relationship between the circumference and radius?
  5. How can you approximate π using fractions?

Tip: Remember, if you're given the radius instead of the diameter, multiply it by 2 to get the diameter before using the formula C=πdC = \pi d.
