To find the circumference of a circle, you can use the formula:
\[ C = 2 \pi r \]
where \( r \) is the radius of the circle. Given that the radius \( r = 1.875 \) cm, we can substitute this value into the formula:
\[ C = 2 \pi (1.875) \]
Using the approximate value of \( \pi \approx 3.14 \), we calculate:
\[ C \approx 2 \times 3.14 \times 1.875 \approx 11.79 \text{ cm} \]
To be more precise and calculate it to the hundredths place using the symbol for \(\pi\):
\[ C \approx 2 \cdot \pi \cdot 1.875 \approx 11.78 \text{ cm} \]
So, rounding to the hundredths place, we find:
The circumference is approximately 11.78 cm.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
d. 11.78 centimeters.
