The circumference of a circle pi times the diameter. Using 3.14 to approximate pi, what is the approximate circumference in inches of a circles with a diameter of 1/2.?

To find the approximate circumference of a circle with a diameter of 1/2, we first need to calculate the radius. The radius is half the diameter, so it would be 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4.

Next, we use the formula: circumference = π * diameter. Since we are using an approximation of π as 3.14, the circumference would be approximately 3.14 * 1/2 = 1.57 inches.
9/4 is close to the square root of what integer
To find the square root of an integer that is close to 9/4, we can try different perfect squares until we find the closest:

1^2 = 1
2^2 = 4
3^2 = 9

Based on this, we can see that 9/4 is close to the square root of 2.
