Are there any answer choices?

Hello and welcome to Open Study! :) Circumference of a Circle = 2 pi r so when 32 = 2 pi r and you are looking for r (radius) then divide both sides by 2pi so r = 32/2pi = which can be simplified

yes, A. 16 in B. 10.2 in C. 2.54 in D. 5.1 in

okay, so once you find the radius in terms of pi = 16/pi then plug it into your calculator :)

i got 10.1911

First let's go over the way to find the circumference of a circle. We know that it is: 2*3.14*r. 32=2*3.14*r Divide 32/3.14=10.19 Now divide 10.19/2=5.09 5.09 rounds to 5.1 Answer is D.
