a standard basketball has a circumference of 30 inches what is the diameter rounded to the nearest tenth show your work

1 answer

The formula for finding the diameter of a circle using the circumference is:

diameter = circumference / π

Given that the circumference of the basketball is 30 inches, we can plug that into the formula:

diameter = 30 / π

diameter ≈ 9.55 inches

Therefore, the diameter rounded to the nearest tenth is 9.5 inches.
