To find the circumference of a circle, you can use the formula:
[tex]\[ \text{Circumference} = \pi \times \text{Diameter} \][/tex]
Here, we are given:
- [tex]\(\pi \approx 3.14\)[/tex]
- Diameter = [tex]\(\frac{1}{2}\)[/tex] inches
Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
[tex]\[ \text{Circumference} \approx 3.14 \times \frac{1}{2} \][/tex]
Now, multiplying 3.14 by [tex]\(\frac{1}{2}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 3.14 \times \frac{1}{2} = 1.57 \][/tex]
Therefore, the approximate circumference of the circle is:
[tex]\[ 1.57 \text{ inches} \][/tex]
