image of a can with 8 cm diameter labeled \cat food\
a. 25.1 cm
b. 25.2 cm
c. 50.2 cm
d. 80.3 cm

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for circumference

The formula for the circumference of a circle is \(C = \pi d\), where \(d\) is the diameter.

Step2: Substitute the value of diameter

Given \(d = 8\) cm and taking \(\pi\approx3.14\), we substitute into the formula: \(C=3.14\times8\).

Step3: Calculate the result

\(3.14\times8 = 25.12\approx25.1\) (rounded to one decimal place).

Answer:

A. \(25.1\) cm
