the circumfirence of the circle equals pi times the diameter using 3.14 to approximate pi,what is the approximate circumfirence in inches of a circle with a diameter of 1/2 inches

Answer 1

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

\[ \text{Circumference} = \pi \times \text{Diameter} \]

Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \) and a diameter of \( \frac{1}{2} \) inches, the calculation would be:

\[ \text{Circumference} \approx 3.14 \times \frac{1}{2} \]

Calculating this:

\[ \text{Circumference} \approx 3.14 \times 0.5 = 1.57 \]

So, the approximate circumference of the circle is \( 1.57 \) inches.
