Question

The top of the cylindrical can shown below has a diameter of 7 centimeters (cm).

What is the circumference, in centimeters, of the top of the can? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a centimeter. Use 3.14 for pi

Answer 1

Circumference of the can is 21.98 cm.

Explanation:

Since, top of the cylinder can shown in the figure is in the shape of a circle

Circumference of a circle is given by the formula,

Circumference 'C' = π × Diameter

Where r = radius of the circle

Therefore, circumference of a circle with diameter 7 centimeters will be,

C = 7π

= 7 × 3.14

= 21.98 cm

Therefore, circumference of the can is 21.98 cm.
