Exercise 5 Page 749

Recall the formula for finding the circumference of a circle.

Radius: 3.66cm
Diameter: 7.32cm

The circumference C of a circle with radius r is calculated using the formula below. C=2π rFrom the exercise we know that the circumference of the circle is 23cm. By substituting 23 for C in the formula, we can calculate r.
C=2π r
23=2π r
Solve for r
2π r=23
r=3.66056...
r≈ 3.66
We found that the radius rounded to the nearest hundredth is 3.66cm. Now, to find the diameter we can multiply the radius by 2. 2* 3.66=7.32cm The circle's diameter rounded to the nearest hundredth is 7.32cm.
