A circle has a radius of 20 cm. = 3.14 What is its perimeter (to the nearest tenth)? ____ cm What is its area (to the nearest tenth)?____ cm2
Well the formula for perimeter is \[2(\pi)(r)\]
So just plug in the radius for r and you've got that part
125.60
but it says to the nearest tenth 125???
No that would mean round so that there is one number after the decimal. Also did you use 3.14 or the pi button on a calculator? I got 125.7 which is a little more accurate
3.14
Alright, if you have a pi button on your calculator you should use that, itll always give you a more accurate answer. I used it and got 125.66, round that to the nearest tenth and you get 125.7cm for the perimeter
will you look with me at another problem plz
The second part? The area?
i got for are 1,256.0
Again I used the pi button and got 1256.63 which to the nearest tenth is 1256.6cm^2
yes that's what i just got after using pi
Alright so you got it now?
yes thank you can you look at one more with me im gonna post it
Alright just post it as a new question and ill try it
