what is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 8 kilometers? estimate the circumference to the hundredths place using 3.14 for pi

1 answer

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

\[ C = \pi \times d \]

where \( C \) is the circumference and \( d \) is the diameter. Given that the diameter is 8 kilometers and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[ C = 3.14 \times 8 \]

Calculating this:

\[ C = 25.12 \text{ kilometers} \]

Therefore, the estimated circumference of the circle is 25.12 kilometers.
