Question

In Mrs. Jensen's kindergarten class, children make handprints in a round clay mold for their

parents. The mold is labeled as having a circumference of 31.4 centimeters. What is the
mold's diameter?

Answer 1

~9.995cm

Explanation:

Circumference is given by the formula c=πd.

This can be rearranged to d=
`(c)/(\pi )` by dividing both sides by π.

With inputting c=31.4, this gives d=
`(31.4)/(\pi )`.

This can be solved to 9.9949304261710270862859003397939, which can be rounded to 3 decimal places to 9.995.
