Question

The circumference of a circular tablecloth is 160 inches, Will the tablecloth cover

a table with diameter 52 inches?

Answer 1

D= 50.92 in

Explanation:

Step one:

Given data

The circumference of a circular tablecloth is 160 inches

We want to know if the circular table cloth can also cover a table of diameter 52 in

Step two:

let us solve for the diameter of the table cloth given that the circumference is

160in

circumference

`C= 2 \pi r`

`160= 2*3.142*r\\\\160= 6.284r`

divide both sides by 6.284

`160/6.284= r\\\\r=25.46 in`

The diameter of the table cloth is

`=25.46*2\\\\=50.92 in`

The Table cloth cannot cover the table because the diameter of the cloth is not up to the diameter of the table
