What's the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 9 inches?


\dashrightarrow\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{Answer and how to solve:-}}}

We are asked to find the circumference of a circle, which we can find using the following formula:-


\bold{Circumference{(circle)}=\pi d}

  • Where:-
  • π=pi [3.14…]
  • d=diameter (9 inches)

How to solve for circumference:-

  • Replace d with 9 and multiply:-


\hookrightarrow\sf{C=3.14*9}


\bigstar On simplification,


\hookrightarrow\sf{C=28.26\:inches}

Notice that we are not asked to round our answer, so we leave it like that - C=28.26.

Good luck with your studies.

Answer:

C = 28.26 in

Explanation:

the circumference (C) is calculated as

C = πd ( d is the diameter ) , then

C = 3.14 × 9 = 28.26 in
