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 the circle, we first need to use the formula for the circumference of a circle:
Circumference = π * diameter

Given that the circumference is approximately 574 meters and using 3.14 for π, we can set up the equation:
574 = 3.14 * diameter

Solving for diameter:
diameter = 574 / 3.14
diameter ≈ 182.165
diameter ≈ 182.2 (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Therefore, the circle's diameter is approximately 182.2 meters.
