What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 5.75 miles? Estimate the circumference to the hundredths place using 3.14 for π .(1 point

1 answer

To find the circumference \( C \) of a circle, you can use the formula:

\[ C = \pi \times d \]

where \( d \) is the diameter. Given that the diameter is 5.75 miles and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \), we can calculate the circumference:

\[ C = 3.14 \times 5.75 \]

Now, performing the multiplication:

\[ C = 3.14 \times 5.75 = 18.095 \]

To estimate the circumference to the hundredths place, we round 18.095 to 18.10.

Therefore, the estimated circumference of the circle is 18.10 miles.
