QuestionWesley has a round tablecloth with a radius of 1.2 yards. Find its circumference using $\pi \approx 3.14$ . Round to the nearest hundredth.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The radius of the tablecloth is1. yards. We use3.14 as the value for $\pi$
3. The formula for the circumference of a circle is $C =\pi r$ , where $C$ is the circumference and $r$ is the radius of the circle.

STEP 2

First, we need to plug in the given values into the formula for the circumference of a circle.
$C =2\pi r$ $C =2 \times.14 \times1.2$

STEP 3

Calculate the circumference of the tablecloth.
$C =2 \times3.14 \times1.2 =7.536$

STEP 4

The problem asks us to round our answer to the nearest hundredth if necessary. Looking at our answer, we see that it is already rounded to the nearest hundredth.
So, the circumference of the tablecloth is7.536 yards.
