If circle A has a radius of 6 millimeters, with a circumference of approximately 38 millimeters, and circle B has a radius of 60 millimeters, then what is circle B's approximate circumference?

1 answer

To find the circumference of Circle B, we can use the formula for the circumference of a circle, which is:

\[ C = 2\pi r \]

where \( C \) is the circumference and \( r \) is the radius.

Given that Circle B has a radius of 60 millimeters, we can substitute that value into the formula:

\[ C_B = 2\pi(60) \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ C_B = 120\pi \]

Using the approximation of \(\pi \approx 3.14\), we can calculate \(C_B\):

\[ C_B \approx 120 \times 3.14 \approx 376.8 \text{ millimeters} \]

Therefore, the approximate circumference of Circle B is:

\[ \boxed{376.8 \text{ mm}} \]
