If a circle has a diameter of 6 inches, what us the circumference rounded to the nearest whole number?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The circumference of a circle is found by using the formula:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "C = πd, where π = 3.14, d = diameter of circle and C = circumference.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "By the way, the Greek letter π is pronounced pi.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also, the circumference of a circle is actually the perimeter of the circle, in case you wanted to know.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The diameter of your circle is 6 inches. We know the value of π.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We simply plug and chug. Then we round to the nearest whole number.
\n" ); document.write( "This is the same as saying round to the nearest ones place OR nearest units place.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "C = 3.14 times 6 inches\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "C = 18.84 inches\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We now round 18.84 inches to the nearest ones place and the answer is\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "C = 19 inches\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
