Question

A regulation basketball hoop has a rim with an 18-inch diameter. What is the approximate length around the rim of a regulation basketball hoop? (Use 3.14 for .)

Answer 1

you are looking for the circumference. which is C(circumference)=
`\pi` x r (radius)
the radius is =to half of the diameter.
c=56.55

Answer 2

circumference=distance around

C=pid
d=diameter
pi=3.14 aprox for t his question

given
diameter=18

C=18*3.14
C=56.52 in

legnth around is 56.52 inn
