Transcript text: The radius of a circle is 9 centimeters. What is the circle's circumference?
Use $\pi \approx 3.14$ and round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
$\square$ centimeters
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Formula for Circumference
The formula for the circumference \( C \) of a circle is given by:
\[
C = 2\pi r
\]
where \( r \) is the radius of the circle.
Step 2: Substitute the Given Values
We are given that the radius \( r \) is 9 centimeters and \(\pi \approx 3.14\). Substitute these values into the formula:
\[
C = 2 \times 3.14 \times 9
\]
Step 3: Calculate the Circumference
Perform the multiplication:
\[
C = 2 \times 3.14 \times 9 = 56.52
\]
Final Answer
The circumference of the circle is \(\boxed{56.52}\) centimeters.
