Question

A) 26 feet
B) 39 feet
C) 41 feet
D) 56 feet

Answer 1

c

Explanation:

I'm pretty sure it's asking for the circumference. The formula for finding the circumferene is C=πd (d=diameter) First, you need to fiind the diameter. Thequestion gives you the radius, 6.5, which is half the diameter. multiply that by 2 and you get 13. The question says to use 3.14 as π, so just multiply 3.14 by 13 and you get 40.82, which rounds to 41.
