The circumference of a basketball is 26 inches. What is the approximate diameter of a basketball? (Use 3.14 for .)
C = pi * d
26 = 3.14 * d
26/3.14 = d
8.28 inches = d
hey ms sue is this like a class site because ill get off if i have to
This site is open to everyone.
thanks
an angle has a measure of (5x+7) and another angel has a measure of (2x+54) together they form a linear pair find the smallest angle
To find the approximate diameter of a basketball, you can use the formula for the circumference of a circle. The formula is C = πd, where C is the circumference and d is the diameter.
Given that the circumference of the basketball is 26 inches, we can substitute this value into the formula:
26 = πd
To solve for the diameter, we can divide both sides of the equation by π:
26 / π = d
Using a calculator, we can calculate the approximate value of 26 / π. Assuming we use the approximation 3.14 for π, we have:
26 / 3.14 ≈ 8.28
Therefore, the approximate diameter of the basketball is 8.28 inches.
