C. C=2πr C≈31.42 So if the entire circumference of the circle is 31.42, then divide that by 4 to get what the circumference of a fourth circle is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 7.855

a

OpenStudy (darthvader2900):

31.4 So what is 31.42/4=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7.85

OpenStudy (darthvader2900):

The answer is C, do you understand how I got that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (darthvader2900):

Hold on be right back

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because 31.42/4 is 7.855

OpenStudy (darthvader2900):

You want the perimeter of the whole piece. So, because there are two sides that equal 5, add 10 to 7.85. you would get 17.85. Round that to 17.9. The answer gets you C.
