Exercise 70 Page 657

Recall the formula for finding a circumference?

17π in. or about 53.4in.

Practice makes perfect
The circumference C of a circle with diameter d is calculated using the formula below. C=π d We are told that the diameter of the circle is 17 inches. By substituting 17 for d in the formula, we can calculate C.
C=π d
C=π( 17)
C=17π
C=53.407075...
C≈ 53.4
The circumference of the circle is 17π inches or about 53.4 inches.
