What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 3 feet? Estimate the circumference to the hundredths place using 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 of the circle.

In this case, the radius \( r \) is 3 feet. Plugging in the value:

\[ C = 2 \times 3.14 \times 3 \]

Calculating this step by step:

  1. Multiply \( 2 \times 3.14 = 6.28 \).
  2. Then multiply \( 6.28 \times 3 = 18.84 \).

Therefore, the circumference of the circle is approximately:

\[ C \approx 18.84 \text{ feet} \]

So the estimated circumference to the hundredths place is 18.84 feet.
