Answer:


r\approx 1.42 \text{ mm}

Explanation:

We can solve for
r (radius) in the circumference (perimeter) formula:


C = 2\pi r

↓ divide both sides by 2π


r = (C)/(2\pi)

Then, we can plug the given circumference (
C) value into that formula to approximate the radius of the object.


r \approx (8.9)/(2(3.14))


\boxed{r\approx 1.42 \text{ mm}}
