Chapter 12.1, Problem 16IP

To determine

To find : The value of circumference of circle.

Answer to Problem 16IP

  $45.9yards$

Explanation of Solution

Given information :

The given information is, Diameter of circle = $14\frac{3}{5}$

Formula Used:

Circumference = $2\pi$ (radius)

Calculation :

  $\begin{array}{l}14\frac{3}{5}\text{ yards}=\frac{73}{5}yards\\ \Rightarrow Radius=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{73}{5}\right)=\frac{73}{10}yards\\ \text{Circumference}=2\times \frac{22}{7}\times \frac{73}{10}\\ =\frac{22}{7}\times \frac{73}{5}=\frac{1606}{35}=45.88571\\ \Rightarrow \text{Circumference}=45.9yards\end{array}$
