what is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 5.2 miles? estimated the circumference to the hundredths place using 3.14 for pie

1 answer

To calculate the circumference of a circle, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Circumference} = \pi \times \text{diameter} \]

Given that the diameter is 5.2 miles and using \(\pi \approx 3.14\), you can substitute the values:

\[ \text{Circumference} = 3.14 \times 5.2 \]

Now, perform the multiplication:

\[ 3.14 \times 5.2 = 16.328 \]

To estimate the circumference to the hundredths place, you round 16.328 to:

\[ 16.33 \]

Thus, the estimated circumference of the circle is 16.33 miles.
