Question

») What is the circumference of the rim of a basketball hoop with a radius of 9 inches? First, multiply the radius by__ to get the diameter__ inches. Then, multiply the diameter by 3.14 (an approximation for 1) to get a circumference of
about__ inches. ») Convince Me! If the diameter is doubled, what happens to the circumference? Explain.​

Answer 1

Answer:

First, multiply the radius by 2 to get the diameter 18 inches. Then, multiply the diameter by 3.14 (an approximation for 1) to get a circumference of about 56.52 inches. If the diameter doubles the circumference doubles.

Step-by-step explanation:

18π = 56.52

36π = 113.04

56.52*2 = 113.04
