Question

circle o has a circumference of approximately 44 in. what is the approximate length of the diameter, d? 7 in. 14 in. 22 in. 44 in.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall circumference formula

The formula for the circumference \( C \) of a circle is \( C = \pi d \), where \( d \) is the diameter. We can solve for \( d \) as \( d=\frac{C}{\pi} \).

Step2: Substitute values

Given \( C = 44 \) in and using \( \pi\approx\frac{22}{7} \), substitute into the formula: \( d=\frac{44}{\frac{22}{7}} \).

Step3: Simplify the expression

Simplify \( \frac{44}{\frac{22}{7}}=44\times\frac{7}{22} = 2\times7 = 14 \) in.

Answer:

B. 14 in.
