The circumference of a circle equals [tex]\pi[/tex] times the diameter. Using 3.14 to approximate [tex]\pi[/tex], what is the approximate circumference in inches of a circle with a diameter of [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] in?

Answer :

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]
