The circumference formula is \[\Pi \times Diameter\] Pi is 3.14. So plug in the length of your diameter and solve.

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

What do you get when you multiply?

OpenStudy (openstudyrocks5*):

What is the diameter? The Number in the circle? (sorry im not very good at this I don't even know how to solve these)

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

The diameter is the length across the whole circle. So yes, the number inside the circle.

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

See that blue line and a number under it. The blue line shows that it stretches across the whole circle. And here's a definition of diameter. https://www.mathsisfun.com/definitions/diameter.html

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

https://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/circle.html And this is some more in depth information on a circle. But, yes, that length that's given inside the circle would be the diameter. All you have to do to figure out the circumference is multiply 3.14 by the diameter.

OpenStudy (openstudyrocks5*):

Ok, What is this? an 11 or Roman numberal lol

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

That is the pi symbol \(\pi\) It stands for the number 3.14.

OpenStudy (openstudyrocks5*):

Oh, I see....

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

In different formats, the pi symbol looks a little different.

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Do you think you're ready for the multiplying part now? Or should we go over it a little more?

OpenStudy (openstudyrocks5*):

Lol hold on........

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

okie doke.

OpenStudy (openstudyrocks5*):

3.14 x 28 = 87.92

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Right. Now they want you to round that to the nearest foot. So does .92 round to 1 or to 0?

OpenStudy (openstudyrocks5*):

1? (sorry im lagging a bit.)

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Right. It rounds up to 1. So 87.92 will round up to 88.

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Because 87+1=88

OpenStudy (openstudyrocks5*):

Ok, So 88 is the answer?

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

You got it :)

OpenStudy (openstudyrocks5*):

Ok. Thanks, sorry I tagged you, I guess im lagging so much it said that the comment : "You got it :)" wasn't even there.

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Sure, no problem. That's fine.
