Same formula.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2 x pi x radius.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
But it gives us the diameter. And the radius is half the diameter, so what is your answer?

15 / 2 =7.5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So what is the circumference?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
47.1 !
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yup!

but thats not any of the choices :p
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Hmm, what are your choices?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The formula for the circumference of a circle is:
\(C = 2 \pi r\)
The diameter is 15, so the radius is 7.5.
\(C = 2 \pi (7.5)\)
What's 7.5 * 2?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Can you multiply that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
pi/15 feet
15pi feet
15/pi feet
30pi feet

It gives us the same answer we ended up with.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Multiply 7.5 * 2 and that is your answer in pi
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It would be 15 again.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh..The choices are like that... :P
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes, so the answer is \(15 \pi\).
