Question

the circumference of a circle is 12.56 meters. what is the circles diameter?
c = 12.56 m
round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
meters

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for circumference

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

Step2: Solve for \(d\)

We know \(C = 12.56\) m and \(\pi\approx3.14\). Rearranging the formula \(C=\pi d\) for \(d\), we get \(d=\frac{C}{\pi}\).
Substitute \(C = 12.56\) and \(\pi = 3.14\) into the formula: \(d=\frac{12.56}{3.14}\).

Step3: Calculate the value of \(d\)

\(d=\frac{12.56}{3.14}=4\)

Answer:

\(4\) meters
