Question

Which is longer, the perimeter of a card table measuring 27 inches on a side or the circumference of a circular table measuring 33 inches in diameter?

Answer 1

It's the card table right

Answer 2

If the table is square (I have no familiarity with a 'card table,' sorry), then its perimeter is:
\[
P=4s=4(27)=108\text{ in}
\]Now, if we have a circle with diameter \(d\):
\[
C=2\pi r=\pi d=\pi(33)\approx 103.67\text{ in}
\]So, since \(P>C\), the card table has the longer of the two measurements.
