What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 3.75 kilometers? Estimate the circumference to the hundredths place using 3.14 as π

.

1 answer

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 3.75 kilometers and using \(\pi \approx 3.14\), we can calculate:

\[ C = 3.14 \times 3.75 \]

Now, performing the multiplication:

\[ C = 3.14 \times 3.75 = 11.775 \]

To estimate the circumference to the hundredths place, we round 11.775 to 11.78.

Therefore, the circumference of the circle is approximately 11.78 kilometers.
