Answer: B) 18.2 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the circumference of a circle is given by :-
[tex]\text{Circumference}=\pi d[/tex]
Given : Diameter of a circle = 5.8 inches
Then, the circumference of the circle will be :-
[tex]\text{Circumference}=(3.14)\times5.8=18.212\approx18.2\text{inches}[/tex]
Hence, the circumference of the circle = 18.2 inches
Answer:
Option B.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that diameter of the circle is 5.8 inches.
[tex]d=5.8[/tex]
Radius of the circle is
[tex]r=\dfrac{d}{2}=\dfrac{5.8}{2}=2.9[/tex]
We need to find the circumference of the circle.
Circumference of a circle is
[tex]C=2\pi r[/tex]
Substitute π= 3.14 and r=2.9 in the above formula, to find the circumference of the circle.
[tex]C=2(3.14)(2.9)[/tex]
[tex]C=18.212[/tex]
Round the answer to the nearest tenth.
[tex]C=18.2[/tex]
The circumference of the circle is 18.2 inches. Therefore, the correct option is B.
