Question

A globe is 41.137 feet in diameter. Find its exact circumference​ (distance around) and then approximate its circumference using 3.14 for pi.

Answer 1

Hello.

Answer 2

Do you know how exact circumference is measured?

Answer 3

I know that C= pi * diameter. But I don't think that's the equation i need.

Answer 4

Since pi is a endless decimal, you may put the diameter and pi together to make the exact circumference, keeping the value of pi when stating it as "pi" and not 3.14

Answer 5

See but when I put inn 129.2356.... It tells me my answer is wrong?

Answer 6

Because you do not put in that as the answer.

Answer 7

You must state pi as the word form, I believe, where the diameter * pi, but you state it only as pi, not the numerical value.

Answer 8

3.14 is not exactly pi

Answer 9

I used the symbol for pi when multiplying.

Answer 10

That's not what I mean. You are not supposed to actually multiply the diameter by the numerical value of pi.

Answer 11

You shall state the diameter with pi beside it; try it with 41.137pi. Maybe you just needed a visual representation of what I was trying to say.

Answer 12

Awesome, Thanks.

Answer 13

Did it work?

Answer 14

Also, you surely know how to do the circumference correct? This is where you actually use the numerical value of pi.

Answer 15

Yes, now its asking me the approximate value.

Answer 16

And that is where I would put my 129....?

Answer 17

Is there a decimal limitation? Yes, correct.

Answer 18

Integer- round to 129.
Decimal- to two places: 129.24

Answer 19

This may have more than 1 correct answer.

Answer 20

I hate the sound of that. Lmao.

Answer 21

Well, it's not always a terrible thing, it may work in your favor.
You may try the integer form, or the two decimal places form; they should both be correct in a sense of what the question stated.

Answer 22

Well the integer form did not work, however the decimal one did. Thankyou again. :)

Answer 23

Of course, anytime. Have a great day/night!

Answer 24

You as well.!
