Answer:

(1) 9.106 cm

(2)  49.612 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

1. C =9.106 cm              2.C =49.612 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve these problems, we will follow the steps below;

First write down the formula for calculating the circumference of the circle

C= 2πr

where c is the circumference of the circle    and r is the radius of the circle

1) From the question diameter = 2.9 cm, but radius is half of the diameter, this implies that radius = [tex]\frac{d}{2}[/tex]= [tex]\frac{2.9}{2}[/tex]=1.45 cm  

We can now proceed to insert the values into the formula;

C= 2πr

   = 2×3.14×1.45

   =9.106 cm

C =9.106 cm

2) From the question, radius = 7.9 inches and π=3.14

We can now go ahead to insert the values into the formula  C= 2πr

C = 2×3.14× 7.9

    =49.612 inches

C =49.612 inches
