Question

The circumference of the tree trunk is 7.85

feet. If the tree trunk is cut, what will be
the diameter of the tree stump?
Use 3.14 for π.
Hint: C = πd
diameter [?] feet please explain how you got this answer for future problems

Answer 1

2.5 feet

Explanation:

Since circumference is just pi(we're using 3.14 in this case) * diameter, which is our answer, we need to divide the circumference(which is 7.58) BY 3.14, which is pi. This leaves us with the diameter, which is 2.5. The unit is already feet, so we needn't do anything about that.
