Question

the diameter of a circle is 6 meters. what is the circles circumference? round your answer to the nearest hundredth. meters

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for circumference

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

Step2: Substitute the value of diameter

Given \(d = 6\) meters. Substitute into the formula: \(C=\pi\times6\).

Step3: Calculate the value

Using \(\pi\approx3.14159\), then \(C = 3.14159\times6=18.84954\).

Step4: Round to the nearest hundredth

Rounding \(18.84954\) to the nearest hundredth (two - decimal places). The third decimal digit is \(9\), so we round up the second decimal digit. \(18.84954\approx18.85\).

Answer:

\(18.85\)
