Answer:

Option B.

Explanation:

It is given that diameter of the circle is 5.8 inches.


d=5.8

Radius of the circle is


r=(d)/(2)=(5.8)/(2)=2.9

We need to find the circumference of the circle.

Circumference of a circle is


C=2\pi r

Substitute π= 3.14 and r=2.9 in the above formula, to find the circumference of the circle.


C=2(3.14)(2.9)


C=18.212

Round the answer to the nearest tenth.


C=18.2

The circumference of the circle is 18.2 inches. Therefore, the correct option is B.

Answer: B) 18.2 inches

Explanation:

We know that the circumference of a circle is given by :-


\text{Circumference}=\pi d

Given : Diameter of a circle = 5.8 inches

Then, the circumference of the circle will be :-


\text{Circumference}=(3.14)*5.8=18.212\approx18.2\text{inches}

Hence, the circumference of the circle = 18.2 inches
