the circumference of the peg is 3 in.will the peg go through the hole?Explain.

What hole?

the hole that is by 1 INCH sorry i forgot to put it in the question

To determine if the peg will go through the hole, we need to compare the circumference of the peg to the diameter of the hole. The circumference of a circle is calculated by using the formula C = πd, where C represents the circumference and d is the diameter of the circle.

In this case, the circumference of the peg is given as 3 inches. Since we only have the circumference, we need to find the diameter of the peg first. We can rearrange the formula to solve for the diameter, d = C/π.

By substituting the given circumference value of 3 inches into the formula, we get d = 3/π ≈ 0.954 inches (rounded to three decimal places).

Now, if the diameter of the peg is smaller than the diameter of the hole, then the peg will go through the hole. However, if the diameter of the peg is equal to or larger than the diameter of the hole, the peg will not fit through the hole.

To determine whether the peg will fit through the hole, we need to know the diameter of the hole and compare it with the diameter of the peg (approximately 0.954 inches).
