To find the circumference of the circle, we will follow the steps below
Formula for the circumference of a circle is
C = 2 π r
where C = circumference of the circle
π is a constant
r is the radius of the circle
From the question, diameter is 17 cm
radius is half the diameter
That is:
radius = 17/2 = 8.5 cm
π = 3.14
Substituting the parameter in the formula given will yield
C = 2 x 3.14 x 8.5 cm
C =53.38 cm
The exact circumference is 53.38 cm
The circumference is approximately 53 cm to the nearest whole number
