Exercise 24 Page 654

Recall the formula for finding a circumference.

20π cm

Practice makes perfect

We are given the following diagram and we want to find its circumference.

The circumference C of a circle with diameter d is calculated using the formula below. C=π d From the diagram, we know that the diameter of the circle is 20centimeters. By substituting 20 for d in the formula, we can calculate C.
C=π d
C=π( 20)
C=20π
The circumference of the circle is 20π cm.
