Question

Find the circumference of a cricket with a diameter of 15.4 inches. Round your answer to the tenths place

Answer 1

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

\[
C = \pi \times d
\]

where \( C \) is the circumference and \( d \) is the diameter. Given that the diameter \( d \) is 15.4 inches, we can calculate the circumference:

\[
C = \pi \times 15.4
\]

Using the approximation \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[
C \approx 3.14 \times 15.4 \approx 48.036
\]

Now, rounding this to the tenths place, we get:

\[
C \approx 48.0
\]

Therefore, the circumference of the cricket is approximately **48.0 inches**.
