Answer:

Yes it will

Explanation:

A circular coin has circumference 32 pi millimeters. Will the coin fit through a slot that is 35 millimeters long? Explain.

The formula for the circumference of a circle = πD

Where D = Diameter which can also be referred to as the length of the circle

Circumference =32π mm

Hence:

32π = πD

Cancel out the π

D = 32 mm

The diameter of the coin = 32 mm

The length of the slot = 35 mm hence, the coin with a diameter of 32 mm can fit into the slot
