A circle has a radius of 10 centimeters. Using pi as approximately 3.14, what is its circumference?
A31.4 cm
B62.8 cm
C314 cm
D65.8 cm
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. 62.8 cm
1. The formula for circumference is 2 times pi times the radius.
2. Substitute 3.14 for pi and 10 for the radius: 2 x 3.14 x 10.
3. Multiply 2 x 3.14 first, which gives 6.28.
4. Multiply 6.28 by 10, which gives 62.8.
5. So the circumference is approximately 62.8 centimeters.
