@openstudier013087

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Any ideas?

OpenStudy (gamereternity):

B or c? maybe

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Hint: C=2pi*r

OpenStudy (openstudier013087):

Do you know the formula for the circumference of a circle

OpenStudy (gamereternity):

@openstudier013087 radius*pi

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Circumference means the distance around the entire circle = 2*pi*r

OpenStudy (openstudier013087):

2*pi*r

OpenStudy (openstudier013087):

but since this is only one fourth of a circle divide the whole formula by four

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

$$\Huge C=2\pi r$$

OpenStudy (openstudier013087):

So you get 10*pi divided by 4

OpenStudy (openstudier013087):

Which you get about 7.854

OpenStudy (gamereternity):

I got a is that correct

OpenStudy (openstudier013087):

No

OpenStudy (openstudier013087):

Remember that after doing the formula you still need to add 10

OpenStudy (openstudier013087):

Because the formula only helps you find the semi circle part

OpenStudy (gamereternity):

so c

OpenStudy (openstudier013087):

So the answer is c yes
