Answer: Circumference = 7.85 inches

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of circumference.

The circumference is the perimeter of a circle. The perimeter is the curve length around any closed figure.

Circumference = 2πr

r = radius

π = constant

Solve:

Given information

r = (1/2) d = (1/2) (2.5) = 1.25 inches

π = 3.14

Given formula

Circumference = 2πr

Substitute values into the formula

Circumference = 2 · (3.14) · (1.25)

Simplify by multiplication

Circumference = (2.5) · (2.14)

Circumference =
\boxed {7.85 inches}

Hope this helps!! :)
