Explanation:

The formula for circumference when the diameter is given is C = π • d

C = circumference

π = pi

d = diameter

So to find the circumference plug in the number (18 - diameter).

C = π • 18

C = 56.5486677646

If needed to round to nearest ...

tenth = 56.5

hundredth = 56.55

However, if the directions say to use 3.14 for π (pi) then the answer would be different.

C = 3.14 • 18

C = 56.52

Hope this helps :)
