Audrey drew a circle for the balloon, this circle has a radius of 9 cm.

To know how big the baloon is you have to determine its circumference.

To calculate the circumference of a circle you have to multiply its diameter by number pi:


C=d\pi

The formula is C=dπ

The diameter is twice the circle so the diameter of the baloon is:


\begin{gathered} d=2r \\ d=2\cdot9 \\ d=18\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}

The calculation for the diameter is:

d=2r

d=2*9

d=18cm

So the circumference of a circle with diameter 18cm is:


\begin{gathered} C=18\pi \\ C\cong56.548\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}

For this balloon:

C=18π

C≅56.548xm
