Find the circumference use
3 1/7 for pi
1. r= 28 ft.
2. D=98 cm
These two questions are making me nuts. I know they have got to be odvious.

Could you please show me how to work them?
Hi,
The mathematical fact you need is that if you have a circle, no matter how large or small, the circumference divided by the diameter is always pi. Said another way
circumference = pi
diameter
In your first example the radius is 28 feet. Since the diameter is twice the radius, the diameter is 56 feet. Thus the circumference is given by
circumference = (3 1/7)
For the second problem the diameter is 98 feet so
circumference = (3 1/7)
