Find the circumference of a circle that has a radius of 17 cm. Substitute 3.14

for pi. Express your answer to the hundredths place.

1 answer

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

\[ C = 2 \pi r \]

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

Given that the radius \( r \) is 17 cm and substituting \( \pi \) with 3.14, we can calculate the circumference:

\[ C = 2 \times 3.14 \times 17 \]

Calculating this step by step:

  1. Calculate \( 2 \times 3.14 = 6.28 \)
  2. Then multiply by 17:

\[ C = 6.28 \times 17 = 106.76 \]

Thus, the circumference of the circle is:

\[ \boxed{106.76} \text{ cm} \]
