Question

Bill measures the circumference of a circular fish pond to be 28 ft. What is the diameter of the fish pond, rounded to the nearest foot? Use 3.14 to approximate pi.

Answer 1

It would be 9 ft. using the knowledge of $\pi$ times the diameter ($\pi$ equals aprox. 3.14) equal the circumference of a circle, and since we know the circumference, we need to divide that by $\pi$ to get the diameter.

equation:  28/3.14=8.913 
                 rounding that would bring it to 9 ft.
