Question from Maggie:

My dinning room table is 48 inches. I need to know what its Circumference is?
I do not know algebra so a formula will not help me.

Thank You,
Maggie

Maggie,

I assume that your table is a round table and the diameter is 48 inches. If that's true then the circumference is π times the diameter where π is approximately 3.14.

I hope this helps,
Penny
