Answer:

The circumference of Dan's circle is approximately 50.27 inches.

Explanation:

The length of the circumference (
s), measured in inches, is determined by the formula:


s = 2\pi\cdot r (1)

Where
r is the radius, measured in inches.

If we know that
r = 8\,in, then the length of the circumference is:


s = 2\pi\cdot (8\,in)


s \approx 50.27\,in

The circumference of Dan's circle is approximately 50.27 inches.
