Question

Calculate the circumference or area to solve the problem. Use 3.14 for pi.Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. A manufacturing company isproducing dinner plates with a diameter of 8 inches. They plan to put asilver edge on each plate. Determine how much silver edging they need foreach plate. *

Answer 1

For this problem we will use the following formula for the circumference of a circle:

`\begin{gathered} C=\pi\cdot d, \\ \text{where d is the diameter of the circle.} \end{gathered}`

Substituting π=3.14, and d=8 in we get:

`C=3.14\cdot8in=25.12in.`

Answer: Second option.
