A piece of string has been used to measure the circumference of a circle. Use a ruler to measure the diameter of the circle and the length of the string to the nearest 1/4 inch

Respuesta :

Answer:

The circumference is expressed using

C=2πr

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is on the mensuration of flat shapes, a circle.

The length of the string corresponds to the circumference of the circle.

The lenght of the string can be calculated by using the expression for circumference, if after using the ruler to obtain the diameter "d"

upon measuring the diameter we can further obtain the radius "r"

The expression for the radius is r=d/2 (the radius is half the diameter)

C=2πr

where pi= 3.124 a constant term

Hence Circumference is the same as the length of the string
