The radius of a circular park is 114 yd. To the nearest yard, what is the circumference of the park?

What will be the diameter if you have the radius?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I don't know honestly.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
diameter = 2r
OpenStudy (anonymous):
pi = circumference/ diameter
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 2r = 114yd

2*114
OpenStudy (anonymous):
228!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes now you have the diameter, can you figure out the circumference?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3.14?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
That's pi

360?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Pi = Circumference / Diameter
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Use it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I thought the value of a circumference equals 3.14 O__o
I don't know what to plug in
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No, ok listen

pi is the ratio of circumference / diameter ok?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So if pi = c/d
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and you're looking for c, I gave you that ratio and that will tell you the answer, I'll give you another hint, ALGEBRA
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you have D now since d = 2*r

I got 358?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How did you get that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
pi*d = C
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait hold on..I made a mistake

Just plug in the numbers now.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Tell me what you get.
OpenStudy (wolf1728):
Try using this formula:
circumference = 2 * PI * radius
circumference = 2 * PI * 114 yards
OpenStudy (anonymous):
716?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
:)
You got it

thanks batman ;) & wolf1728!
OpenStudy (wolf1728):
Very good ChinaGurl
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Remember this though, Pi is the ratio of circumference / diameter
