The formula for finding the circumference of a circle is C=2*pi*r, where r is the radius. You stated to approximate pi to 3.14. Also, the radius is equal to half of the diameter.
5) C=2*pi*r
Find the radius by taking half of the diameter: r = 9/2, which means r = 4.5 inches.
C ≈ 2 * 3.14 * 4.5 (I am using the approximate symbol since I rounded pi to 3.14. Substitute pi with 3.14 and substitute r with 4.5.)
C ≈ 28.26 inches (multiply)
C ≈ 28.3 inches (round to the nearest tenth)
6) C=2*pi*r
C ≈ 2 * 3.14 * 5 (I am using the approximate symbol since I rounded pi to 3.14. Substitute pi with 3.14 and substitute r with 5.)
C ≈ 31.4 (multiply)
C ≈ 31.4 mm (The answer was already rounded to the nearest tenth.)
