Question

a regulation basketball hoop has a rim with an 18 inch diameter what is the approximate length around the rim of a regulation basketball hoop use 3.14 A. 1017.36 in B. 254.34 in C. 56.52 inD.113.04 incan you explain to me how to get the answer

Answer 1

The rim is circular hence the approximate length round the rim is the circumference of the rim.

The circumference C of a circle is given as

= Pi * D

where

Pi is a constant given as 3.14 and D is the diameter of the circle

Hence the approximate length of the rim

= 3.14 * 18

= 56.52 in

Option C is right
