Answer:

circumference=13π cm (see below if you need π approximated)

Explanation:

Hi there!

The formula for the circumference of a circle is given as 2πr, where r is the radius and π is pi

we are given that the radius of the circle is 6.5 cm

substitute what we know into the equation:

circumference=2πr

circumference=2π*6.5

circumference=13π cm

some places will accept the answer as 13π, but others ask to have π substituted, usually as 3.14 or 22/7

if you need π substituted as 3.14, the answer will be 40.82 cm

if you need π substituted as 22/7, the answer will be about 40.86 cm

Hope this helps! :)
