help im lost

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

What's your question ?

OpenStudy (r_josh10):

Bill measures the circumference of a circular fish pond to be 28 ft. What is the diameter of the fish pond, rounded to the nearest foot? Use 3.14 to approximate pi. ft

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

The formula for the circumference of a circle is diameter times pi. You are given the circumference. And the value of pi (3.14). Plug those into the formula and solve for the diameter.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

276.208826104 in terms of pi

OpenStudy (r_josh10):

Can you put it in an equation for me so i can understand?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

\(\Large C=d\pi\) where C = circumference, d = diameter, and \(\large\pi\) = 3.14 The problem says the circumference equals 28ft. Solve for d.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The formulas to this kind of stuff :)

OpenStudy (r_josh10):

@StudyGurl14 how do we plug it in

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

If c = 28, and \(\large\pi\) = 3.14, replace c in the equation with 28, and pi with 3.14.

OpenStudy (r_josh10):

i did \[28=d*3.14\]

@techygirl

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Good, now solve for d.

OpenStudy (r_josh10):

how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide

OpenStudy (r_josh10):

\[28/3.14=8.917197........\] @techygirl

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Yep. Good job.

OpenStudy (r_josh10):

so the answer is 9 since were rounding to the nearest foot @techygirl

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep :p
