Question

Find the circumference given the area = 28.3 km². Use 3.14 for π as necessary. A. 18.9 km B. 20.8 km C. 21.4 km D. 37.8 km

Answer 1

Answer: choice A) 18.9 km

================================================

Work Shown:

Use the given area A = 28.3 to find the radius r

A = pi*r^2

28.3 = 3.14*r^2

3.14*r^2 = 28.3

r^2 = 28.3/3.14

r^2 = 9.01273885350319 approximately

r = sqrt(9.01273885350319)

r = 3.00212239149292

---------

Which is then used to find the circumference

C = 2*pi*r

C = 2*3.14*3.00212239149292

C = 18.8533286185756

C = 18.9
