Recall that the circumference of a circle is the product of its diameter and pi.
Radius: 8 inches
Circumference: 50.27 inches
We are given that a pizza has a diameter of 16 inches and asked to evaluate the radius r and the circumference. First let's recall that the radius is the half of the diameter.
r=1/2* 16=8
d= 16
Multiply
Round to 2 decimal place(s)
The circumference of the pizza is approximately 50.27 inches.
Now let's take a look at the different types of segments in circles and their definitions.
