To find the diameter of the pizza, we can use the formula for circumference:
Circumference = π * diameter
Given that the approximate circumference is 72.22 inches and using π = 3.14, we can set up the equation:
72.22 = 3.14 * diameter
Now, to solve for the diameter, divide both sides by 3.14:
diameter = 72.22 / 3.14
diameter ≈ 23 inches
Therefore, the diameter of the pizza is approximately 23 inches.
Circumference = π * diameter
Given that the approximate circumference is 72.22 inches and using π = 3.14, we can set up the equation:
72.22 = 3.14 * diameter
Now, to solve for the diameter, divide both sides by 3.14:
diameter = 72.22 / 3.14
diameter ≈ 23 inches
Therefore, the diameter of the pizza is approximately 23 inches.
u just said 11.5
I apologize for the confusion. Let's check the calculation again:
Given Circumference = π * Diameter
72.22 = 3.14 * Diameter
Dividing both sides by 3.14:
Diameter = 72.22 / 3.14
Diameter ≈ 22.99 inches
The diameter rounded to the nearest whole number is approximately 23 inches.
It seems that I mistakenly gave the rounded value of 72.22/6.28 instead earlier. Thank you for pointing that out.
