snowflake0531:

do you know the circumference of a circle?

hhanan:

no

snowflake0531:

the circumference of a circle is 2pir, inthis case, you can just do dpi, diameter times pi

hhanan:

ya the options are bigger than 8

snowflake0531:

so, multiply 8 by 3.14, there's your answer

hhanan:

but why 3.14??

snowflake0531:

bc pi approximately equals 3.14?

snowflake0531:

you can just search up '8pi' that's easier ig online

hhanan:

pi?

snowflake0531:

pi, as in \[\pi\]

snowflake0531:

lol, you didn't understand what i was talking about earlier right?

ScamTheMan:

Pi, or π is a mathematical constant. It's often used in circular formulas, and is used in the formula for circumference.

ScamTheMan:

The formula for circumference is C = 2πr Where: C = Circumference π = pi, or 3.14 r = Radius

hhanan:

so no matter the number you always so the number times 3.14???

ScamTheMan:

Yes, when it has "π" in the equation, you'll always use 3.14 unless it specifically asks you to use more.

snowflake0531:

it's times pi, it's just easier as 3.14 at times

hhanan:

ok so it is 25.12

snowflake0531:

sure

hhanan:

sure??

ScamTheMan:

Yes, but you can also round up depending on what the question is asking for. If it asks for tenths, it would be 25.12. If it asked for hundrenths, then the answer would be 25.12

snowflake0531:

i mean like, ye but i like to just say 'sure'

hhanan:

ok thank you both
