A circle has an approximate circumference of 574 meters. What is the circle's diameter rounded to the nearest hundredths? Use 3.14 for pi.

1 answer

The formula for the circumference of a circle is C = πd, where C is the circumference and d is the diameter.

If the circumference is approximately 574 meters, we can set up the equation as:

574 = 3.14d

To solve for the diameter, we need to isolate d. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 3.14:

d = 574 / 3.14

d ≈ 182.17

The diameter rounded to the nearest hundredths is approximately 182.17 meters.
