If the radius of circle 0 is 14 meters and it is dilated by a scale factor of 2.5 then what will be the circumference of circle 0'?

To find the circumference of circle 0' after the dilation, we first need to determine the new radius of circle 0' after applying the scale factor.

  1. Original radius of circle 0: 14 meters
  2. Scale factor: 2.5

New radius of circle 0' can be calculated as: \[ \text{New radius} = \text{Original radius} \times \text{Scale factor} = 14 \times 2.5 = 35 \text{ meters} \]

Next, we use the formula for the circumference \( C \) of a circle, which is given by: \[ C = 2 \pi r \] where \( r \) is the radius.

Now substituting the new radius: \[ C = 2 \pi (35) = 70 \pi \]

We need to calculate the numerical value of \( 70 \pi \). Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \): \[ C \approx 70 \times 3.14 = 219.8 \]

Rounding this to the nearest whole number gives us approximately 220.

Thus, the circumference of circle 0' is: \[ \boxed{220} \]
