MEDAL AND FAN!!! What is the exact circumference of a circle with a radius of 12 inches?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The formula for the circumference of a circle is C = 2\(\pi\)r, so what do you think the answer is?

OpenStudy (party_girl):

75.4in is the anwser

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So when we plug in the values into the equation, we get 2 x 3.14 x 12. Can you figure that out?

@party_girl Direct answers are against the Code of Conduct. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please refrain from giving direct answers again. Thank you. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The formula is \(C = \pi d\) Where 'd' is diameter.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What's 12 * 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@iGreen. That's wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, it's not. 2 * r is the same thing as the diameter.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@lordoftanks Can you multiply 12 * 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The formula is actually C = 2 x pi x radius

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, we're pretty much using the same thing.. lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooo thx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@lordoftanks Can you multiply 12 * 2? That will give you your answer in terms of pi.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because the one I am using uses multiplies it to 2, and the radius is half the diameter, so we get the same answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's what I said.
