Answer:

3.7

Explanation:

the formula for the circumference of a circle is:

2πr, or twice the radius multiplied by pi

C = 2πr

substitute 23.2 for 'C'

23.2 = 2πr

we are trying to isolate the 'r'

divide each side by 2 to get:

23.2/2 = πr

11.6 = πr

11.6/π = r

if we use 3.14 as the value of pi we get:

11.6/3.14 = r

3.69, rounded to nearest tenth would be 3.7
