Question

What is the circumference of the circle? Use 3.14 for π. circle with a segment drawn from the center of the circle to a point on the circle labeled 5 inches 31.40 inches 78.50 inches 15.70 inches 246.49 inches

Answer 1

• Answer:

`\Large{\boxed{\sf C = 31.40 \: inches}}`

`\\`

• Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle can be calculated using the following formula:

`\Large{\sf C = 2 \pi r }`

Where:

• C is the circumference of the circle.
• r is its radius.

`\\`

Since "a segment drawn from the center of a circle to a point on the circle" is actually the definition of the radius of said circle, we can take r = 5 inches.

`\\`

Applying our formula and using 3.14 for π, we get:

`\sf C = 2 * 3.14 * 5in \\ \\ \implies \boxed{\boxed{\sf C = 31.4 \: inches = 31.40 \: inches}}`

Answer 2

31.40 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle can be calculated using the formula:

• 
  `\large\rm{Circumference = 2 \cdot \pi \cdot Radius}`

Given:

• Radius = 5 inches

Substitute the given value into the formula:

• 
  `\large\rm{Circumference = 2 \cdot 3.14 \cdot 5\: inches}`

Simplifying the expression:

• 
  `\large\rm{Circumference = \boxed{\rm{31.40\: inches}}}`

`\therefore` The circumference of the circle is 31.40 inches.
