Help please

A crafts worker is knitting a circular rug that has a diameter of 88 inches. He would like to put trim around the outer edge of the rug. If 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters, how many centimeters of trim would he need? Use π = 3.14 and round to the nearest centimeter.

208 centimeters
257 centimeters
276 centimeters
702 centimeters

Answer 1

The crafts worker would need 702 cm of trim.

Hope this helps!

Explanation:

The trim is the circumference of the circle.

Circumference is 2πr.

The radius of the circle is 44 inches.

2 × π × 44 = 276.46 inches

276.56 inches × 2.54 = 702.4624 cm

Answer 2

88×2.54 = 223.52cm ×3.14 =701.8528 =702cm
