Remember that the formula for the circumference, , of a circle is:
In this case, we are not given the diameter. However, remember that the diameter is equivalent to two times the radius of a circle. Thus,
,
and we can say the circumference of our circle is:
The circumference of our circle is 50.24 units.
<em>Also, a little side note not relating to the question:</em>
<em>Remember that is spelled as "pi" not "pie." Pie is a dessert, while pi is a mathematical constant.</em>
We conclude that the sum of the first 8 terms of the arithmetic sequence is 17/5.
<h3>How to get the sum of the first 8 terms?</h3>
In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between any two consecutive terms is a constant.
Here we know that:
There are 7 times the common difference between these two values, so if d is the common difference:
Then the sum of the first 8 terms is given by:
So we conclude that the sum of the first 8 terms of the arithmetic sequence is 17/5.
