Michael made a poster for International Day of the Child. In the center of the poster was a picture of a globe. Around the sides of the poster were pictures of children from different countries. The diameter of the globe picture was 5.8 inches. What was its circumference? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
D = 5.8 in
C = pi D/4 = 3.14159 * 5.8^2/ 4 = 26.42 in.
typo C = pi D^2/4 !!!!!
Sorry, that is area
C = pi D = 3.14159 * 5.8 = 18.22 inches
To find the circumference of a circle, you need to multiply its diameter by pi (π).
Given that the diameter of the globe picture is 5.8 inches, we can calculate the circumference as follows:
Circumference = Diameter x π
Circumference = 5.8 inches x π
The approximate value of π is 3.14.
Circumference = 5.8 inches x 3.14
Circumference ≈ 18.212 inches
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the circumference of the globe picture is approximately 18.21 inches.
