What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 5.75 miles? Estimate the circumference to the hundredths place using 3.14 for π

To find the circumference \( C \) of a circle, you can use the formula:

\[ C = \pi \times d \]

where \( d \) is the diameter of the circle. In this case, the diameter \( d \) is 5.75 miles.

Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[ C = 3.14 \times 5.75 \]

Now, we can perform the multiplication:

\[ C = 3.14 \times 5.75 = 18.075 \]

To estimate the circumference to the hundredths place, we round 18.075 to:

\[ C \approx 18.08 \text{ miles} \]

So, the estimated circumference of the circle is 18.08 miles.

5.75 x 3.14 = 18.055, so the answer would be 18.06

Thank you for pointing that out! Let's go through the multiplication step again:

To calculate the circumference:

\[ C = \pi \times d = 3.14 \times 5.75 \]

When we perform the multiplication:

\[ 3.14 \times 5.75 = 18.055 \]

Rounding this result to the hundredths place:

18.055 rounded to the hundredths place is 18.06.

So, the corrected estimated circumference of the circle is 18.06 miles. Thank you for your patience!
