A circle has an approximate circumference of 574 meters. What is the circle’s diameter, rounded to the nearest tenth?

1 answer

The formula for the circumference of a circle is C = πd, where C is the circumference and d is the diameter.

In this case, we are given the circumference C as approximately 574 meters. Therefore, we can equate this to the formula and solve for d:

574 = πd

To solve for d, divide both sides of the equation by π:

d ≈ 574 / π

Using the approximation π ≈ 3.14, we can calculate:

d ≈ 574 / 3.14 ≈ 182.165

Rounding to the nearest tenth, the circle's diameter is approximately 182.2 meters.
