Answer 1

Hello!

To solve this you use the equation to find the circumference of a circle which is

$C = 2 \pi r$

C is circumference
r is radius which is half the diameter

Put in the values you know and 3.14 for pi

C = 2 * 3.14 * 24

Multiply

C = 150.72

The answer is 150.72 centimeters

Hope this helps!
