Horace measured a circular lid and found d, the diameter, was 8 inches and C, the circumference, was 25 inches. Which expression represents an approximate value for pi?

Answer:

pi = 3.125

Explanation:

We are given;

Diameter; d = 8 inches

Circumference; C = 25 inches

Formula for circumference of a circle is;

C = πd

We are trying to find the value for pi(π)

Thus; π = C/d

π = 25/8

π = 3.125
