If a circle has a radius of 38 inches, what is its approximate circumference to the nearest hundredths? Use 3.14 for π

.(1 point)

1 answer

The formula for the circumference \( C \) of a circle is given by:

\[ C = 2\pi r \]

where \( r \) is the radius. Given the radius \( r = 38 \) inches and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \), we can calculate the circumference:

\[ C = 2 \times 3.14 \times 38 \]

Calculating that:

\[ C = 6.28 \times 38 \]

Now, performing the multiplication:

\[ C = 238.64 \]

Therefore, the approximate circumference of the circle is \( \boxed{238.64} \) inches.
