19. In order for a button to fit through its buttonhole, the hole needs to be the size of the button's diameter. What size buttonhole is needed for a button with a circumference of 9.42 centimeters? A. 3 centimeters B. 1.5 centimeters C. 4 centimeters D. 6 centimeters

Respuesta :

A. 3 cm
Because the circumference is equal to diameter times pi
9.42 divide by 3.14 is 3

Answer:

The size of the buttonhole should be 3 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference is given by = [tex]2\pi r[/tex] where r is the radius of the circle.

Given is -

The circumference is given as = 9.42 cm

We can put this value in the formula and get;

[tex]9.42=2\pi r[/tex]

=> [tex]9.42=2\times3.14\times r[/tex]

=>[tex]9.42=6.28r[/tex]

[tex]r=\frac{9.42}{6.28}[/tex]

r = 1.5 cm

As given that the hole needs to be the size of the button's diameter.

So, diameter = [tex]1.5\times2=3[/tex] cm

Therefore, the answer is 3 cm.
