Question

The circumference of a circular field is 285.74 yards. What is the diameter of the field? Use 3.14 for it and do not round your answer.
yards
x
?

Answer 1

Answer:

The diameter is 91.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for circumference is 2*pi*radius(you can use circumference = diameter*pi too). Plug 285.74 into it. Divide both sides by 3.14, and you get 2*radius(aka the diameter) = 91

Answer 2

Answer:

91 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle can be found using the following formula:

c=π * d

We know that the circumference is 285.74 yards and we are using 3.14 for pi. Substitute 285.74 in for c and 3.14 for pi.

285.74= 3.14 *d

We want to find the diameter. Therefore, we need to get the variable d by itself. d is being multiplied by 3.14 The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by 3.14

285.74/3.14= 3.14*d/3.14

285.74/3.14=d

Divide

91=d

d= 91 yards

The diameter of the field is 91 yards.
