A circular dog bed has a circumference of about 72 inches. What is the diameter in inches of the dog bed to the nearest inch?
C=pi*d
72/pi= 22.91
22.91 can be rounded to 23 inches.
To find the diameter of the circular dog bed, we can use the formula:
Circumference = π × Diameter
Given that the circumference is approximately 72 inches, we can substitute this value into the equation:
72 inches = π × Diameter
To solve for the diameter, we can rearrange the equation:
Diameter = Circumference / π
Plugging in the given values:
Diameter = 72 inches / π
Now, let's calculate the diameter using the value of π as approximately 3.14:
Diameter ≈ 72 inches / 3.14 ≈ 22.93 inches
Therefore, the diameter of the circular dog bed, rounded to the nearest inch, is 23 inches.
