Mr. Falcone's pizza shop offers three sizes of pizza. The small, medium and large pizzas have diameters of 8 inches, 10 inches and 12 inches.

What is the DIFFERENCE between the circumference of a large pizza and the circumference of a medium pizza?

Round to the nearest hundredth, and use
π≈3.14

Circumference=2
\pir

Circumference of larger pizza: 2(3.14)(6) = 37.68
Circumference of medium size pizza: 2(3.14)(5) = 31.4

Difference is 37.68-31.4 = 6.28

The correct answer is answer choice 3 or C.

Use the formula πd.
The medimum has a diameter of 10π and the large has diameter of 12π. The difference is 2π or 6.28 inches. The third one.:D
