Circumference and Area of a Circle Quiz

Estimate the diameter of a circle with a circumference of 80ft.

1 answer

The formula for the circumference of a circle is:

C = πd

Where C = circumference, d = diameter, and π (pi) is a mathematical constant that is approximately equal to 3.14.

We can rearrange this formula to solve for the diameter:

d = C/π

Plugging in the given circumference of 80ft, we get:

d = 80/π

Estimating pi to be 3.14, we can approximate the diameter as:

d ≈ 80/3.14

d ≈ 25.5 ft

Therefore, the estimated diameter of a circle with a circumference of 80ft is approximately 25.5 feet.
