Question

A circle has an approximate circumference of 574 meters
. What is the circle’s diameter, rounded to the nearest tenth? Use 3.14
for π
.

1 answer

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

\[ C = \pi \times d \]

where \( C \) is the circumference and \( d \) is the diameter. We can rearrange this formula to solve for the diameter:

\[ d = \frac{C}{\pi} \]

Given that the circumference \( C \) is approximately 574 meters and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[ d = \frac{574}{3.14} \]

Now, we can perform the division:

\[ d \approx 183.4013 \]

Rounding this to the nearest tenth, we get:

\[ d \approx 183.4 \]

Thus, the circle's diameter, rounded to the nearest tenth, is approximately 183.4 meters.
