Question

A circular piece of wood has a circumference of exactly 60.5 inches.

Which measurement is closest to the radius, in inches, of the piece of wood?

Use 3.14 as an approximation of π.


A:4.4

B:9.6

C:19.3

D:95.0

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 9.6

Step-by-step explanation:

circumference of circle = 2(3.14)R = 6.28 R

R= 60.5/6.28

= 9.6

Answer 2

Answer:

9.6 Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of a circle = 2πr

Circumference = 60.5 Inches

2πr = 60.5 as we have been given circumference and therefore gotta find the radius

2×3.14×r=60.5

6.28×r=60.5

Transposing 6.28 To other side

r= 60.5÷6.28

r= 9.633.

Hope it helps. Good Luck!
