Transcript text: The diameter of a circle is 90 in. Find its circumference.
Solution
Solution Steps
To find the circumference of a circle given its diameter, we can use the formula \( C = \pi \times d \), where \( C \) is the circumference and \( d \) is the diameter. Given that the diameter is 90 inches, we can substitute this value into the formula to find the circumference.
Step 1: Given Information
The diameter of the circle is given as \( d = 90 \) inches.
Step 2: Circumference Formula
To find the circumference \( C \) of the circle, we use the formula:
\[
C = \pi \times d
\]
Step 3: Substituting the Diameter
Substituting the given diameter into the formula:
\[
C = \pi \times 90
\]
Step 4: Calculating the Circumference
Calculating the value:
\[
C \approx 282.7433 \text{ inches}
\]
Rounding to four significant digits, we have:
\[
C \approx 282.7 \text{ inches}
\]
Final Answer
The circumference of the circle is \(\boxed{C = 282.7 \text{ inches}}\).
