Answer:

The circumference of a circle with a radius of 7 millimeters is 44.0 (rounded to the nearest tenth).

Explanation:

The circumference of a circle is the distance around the outside of the circle. The circumference along with the diameter and radius are the 3 major aspects of a circle.

The circumference of a circle is found using this formula:


  • c=2\pi *r - or -
    c=\pi *d

For this problem, the radius has been given, so to solve, let's use the formula:
c=2\pi *r.

It has been given that the radius is equal to 7 and the unit of measure is millimeters.

So to start, let's plug the radius in the formula.

It should look like this:
C=2\pi *7

After plugging the radius into the formula, we now have to multiply
2\pi by
7; resulting in: ≈
43.9823 (estimate)

Now rounding to the nearest tenth:


44.0
