Question

the circumference of a circle is 56.52 kilometers. what is the circles diameter? round your answer to the nearest hundredth. kilometers

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 \(C = 56.52\) km and \(\pi\approx3.14\). Rearranging the formula \(d=\frac{C}{\pi}\).
Substitute \(C = 56.52\) and \(\pi=3.14\) into the formula: \(d=\frac{56.52}{3.14}\).
Calculate \(\frac{56.52}{3.14}=18.00\)

Answer:

\(18.00\) kilometers
