Question

circle o has a circumference of approximately 44 in. what is the approximate length of the diameter, d? 7 in. 14 in. 22 in. 44 in.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall circumference formula

The formula for the circumference \( C \) of a circle is \( C = \pi d \), where \( d \) is the diameter. We can approximate \( \pi \) as \( \frac{22}{7} \) for this calculation.

Step2: Solve for diameter \( d \)

Given \( C = 44 \) in, substitute into the formula: \( 44=\frac{22}{7}\times d \). To solve for \( d \), we can rearrange the formula: \( d=\frac{44\times7}{22} \). Simplify the right - hand side: \( 44\div22 = 2 \), then \( 2\times7=14 \) in.

Answer:

14 in. (The option is 14 in. which corresponds to the second option in the given choices)
