Answer 1

Explanation:

every thing looks good, except the question says "round" and soooooo, if you are rounding to the 2nd decimal place, then the next two decimal places are 54, or 50.2654 so, to round that, round up , so your final answer would look like 50.27 :) see?

50.24 inches (or 50.2 inches)

Explanation:

The formula for circumference in terms of radius is ...

C = 2πr

Using the given values for radius and for pi, the circumference is ...

Additional comment

If you use a more accurate value of pi, the rounded value is 50.27 in. That is not the value requested by this problem. It helps to follow directions.

If you like, you can round to 50.2, since only one decimal place is required in the result.
