pam served her apple pie on a 13 inch diameter dish. she wanted to tie a ribbon around the dish to make it a litlle more festive. how long does the ribbon need to be in order to fit around the dish
pi D = 3.14159 * 13
To find out how long the ribbon needs to be in order to fit around the dish, we need to calculate the circumference of the dish.
The circumference of a circle can be found using the formula: C = π * d, where C represents the circumference and d represents the diameter of the circle.
Given that the dish has a diameter of 13 inches, we can substitute this value into the formula: C = π * 13.
Now, let's calculate the circumference using the value of π. Assuming that we are using an approximation of π as 3.14, we can multiply 3.14 by 13 to find C.
C = 3.14 * 13 = 40.82.
So, the circumference of the dish is approximately 40.82 inches. Therefore, the ribbon needs to be at least 40.82 inches long to fit around the dish and make it festive.
