Question

The diameter of a hat is 5.3 inches. What is the distance around the hat using π = 3.14? Round to the hundredths place.

22.05 inches
16.64 inches
8.32 inches
1.69 inches

Answer 1

16.642

Explanation:

Answer 2

The distance around a circle (sometimes called the circumference) is given by the formula:

Circumference = π x Diameter

Plugging in the given values, we get:

Circumference = 3.14 x 5.3

Circumference ≈ 16.642

Rounding to the hundredths place, we get:

Circumference ≈ 16.64 inches

Therefore, the distance around the hat using π = 3.14 and a diameter of 5.3 inches is approximately 16.64 inches.
