What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter = 4 feet? Which of the following is the best estimation for the circumference?

25

50

6

13

1 answer

The circumference \( C \) of a circle can be calculated using the formula:

\[ C = \pi \times d \]

where \( d \) is the diameter. Given that the diameter is 4 feet, we can calculate the circumference as follows:

\[ C = \pi \times 4 \]

Using an approximation for \( \pi \) (approximately 3.14), we can estimate:

\[ C \approx 3.14 \times 4 = 12.56 \text{ feet} \]

Now, we can look at the options provided: 25, 50, 6, and 13. The best estimation for the circumference, which we calculated to be approximately 12.56 feet, is 13.
