Statement Problem: A glass vase has a circular rim with a diameter of 5 west n. How many inches of ribbon are needed to go once around the rim.
Solution:
[tex]\pi=3.14,d=5in[/tex]The circumference of a circle is the perimeter of the circle. It is the total length of the boundary of the circle.
The perimeter P of the circular rim is;
[tex]\begin{gathered} P=\pi d \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, we have;
[tex]\begin{gathered} P=3.14\times5in \\ P=15.7in \end{gathered}[/tex]CORRECT ANSWER:
[tex]15.7\text{inches}[/tex]
