Example Question #85 : Geometry And Graphs

While doing your homework, you become distracted by the 3 holes on the margin of your paper. You estimate that the holes have a diameter of 2.5 cm. What is the circumference of the circles?

 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

While doing your homework, you become distracted by the 3 holes on the margin of your paper. You estimate that the holes have a diameter of 2.5 cm. What is the circumference of the circles?

 

To find circumference, use the following formula:

Now, we could find the radius and then plug it in, but if you are astute, you will see that the above formula is the same thing as:

 

Where d is the diameter.

So, we can plug in our diameter to find our answer:

So we can say our answer is 7.85 cm
