- A.
98.5
- B.
35.2
- C.
36.8
- D.
18.5
Correct Answer
B. 35.2Explanation
To find the circumference of a circle, we use the formula C = 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle. In this case, the radius is given as 5.6 meters. Plugging this value into the formula, we get C = 2π(5.6) = 11.2π. To round to the nearest tenth, we need to calculate the value of 11.2π. Using the approximation of π as 3.14, we can calculate 11.2π as 11.2 * 3.14 = 35.168. Rounding this to the nearest tenth gives us 35.2, which is the correct answer.Rate this question:

- D.
61.8
Correct Answer
A. 194.1Explanation
The circumference of a circle can be found using the formula C = 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle. In this case, the radius is 30.9 centimeters. Plugging this value into the formula, we get C = 2π(30.9) = 61.8π. To find the circumference rounded to the nearest tenth, we need to calculate the value of 61.8π. Using the approximation of π as 3.14, we get 61.8 * 3.14 = 194.1. Therefore, the correct answer is 194.1.Rate this question:

Round to the nearest tenth. Find the area of a circle with a diameter of 19 mm. (Write values only)
Correct Answer
284Explanation
To find the area of a circle, you can use the formula:
Area = π * (radius)^2
The diameter of the circle is 19 mm, and the radius is half of the diameter, so the radius is 19 mm / 2 = 9.5 mm.
Now, plug this radius into the formula and round the result to the nearest tenth:
Area = π * (9.5 mm)^2 ≈ 283.98 mm²
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the area of the circle is approximately 284 mm² rounded to the nearest tenth.Rate this question:

Round to the nearest tenth. Find the area of a circle with a diameter of 25 yd.
- A.
157.0
- B.
256.3
- C.
490.9
- D.
503.1
Correct Answer
C. 490.9Explanation
The area of a circle is given by the formula
A=πr2
, where (r) is the radius of the circle. Given that the diameter of the circle is 25 yards, the radius would be half of the diameter, which is (12.5) yards.
Substituting the radius into the formula, we get:
A=π(12.5)2=490.8738521234052
Rounding to the nearest tenth, the area of the circle is approximately 490.9 square yards.Rate this question:

Round to the nearest tenth. Find the area of a circle with a radius of 13.8 m.
Correct Answer
598.0, 598, 598.7Explanation
The correct answer is 598.0. The area of a circle is calculated using the formula A = πr^2, where A is the area and r is the radius. Plugging in the given radius of 13.8 m into the formula, we get A = 3.14 * (13.8)^2 = 598.0 m^2. Therefore, the area of the circle is 598.0 square meters.Rate this question:

Round to the nearest tenth. Find the area of a circle with a diameter of 46.2 cm.
- A.
6702.1
- B.
1587.3
- C.
1675.5
- D.
145.1
Correct Answer
C. 1675.5Explanation
The formula to find the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle. Since the diameter is given, we can find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2. In this case, the radius is 46.2 cm / 2 = 23.1 cm. Plugging this value into the formula, we get A = π(23.1)^2. Rounding to the nearest tenth, the area is approximately 1675.5 square cm.Rate this question:

Round to the nearest tenth. Find the area of a circle with a radius of 3.25 in.
Correct Answer
33.2, 33, 33.16, 33.17Explanation
The correct answer is 33.2. To find the area of a circle, we use the formula A = πr^2, where A is the area and r is the radius. Plugging in the given radius of 3.25, we get A = 3.14 * (3.25)^2 = 3.14 * 10.5625 = 33.17875. Rounding this to the nearest tenth gives us 33.2.Rate this question:

Round to the nearest tenth. Find the area of a circle with a diameter of 6.8 meters.
- A.
36.3
- B.
36.4
- C.
145.2
- D.

Correct Answer
A. 36.3Explanation
The area of a circle can be found using the formula A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle. In this case, the diameter is given as 6.8 meters, so the radius would be half of that, which is 3.4 meters. Plugging this value into the formula, we get A = π(3.4)^2 = 36.316. Rounded to the nearest tenth, the area of the circle is 36.3 square meters.Rate this question:

Round to the nearest tenth. A sprinkler can spray water 10 feet in all directions. How much area can sprinkler water?
- A.
62.8 sq.feet
- B.
36.3 sq.feet
- C.
314.0 sq.feet
- D.
98.9 sq.feet
Correct Answer
C. 314.0 sq.feetExplanation
A sprinkler can spray water 10 feet in all directions. The area that the sprinkler can water can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle, which is πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle. In this case, the radius is 10 feet, so the area is π(10^2) = π(100) = 100π. Since we are asked to round to the nearest tenth, we can use the approximation π ≈ 3.14. Therefore, the area is approximately 100(3.14) = 314.0 sq.feet.Rate this question:

Round to the nearest tenth. What is the number of square meters of a half circle whose diameter is 8 m?
- A.
50.2
- B.
45.6
- C.
15.3
- D.
25.1
Correct Answer
D. 25.1Explanation
The formula to calculate the area of a half circle is (π * r^2) / 2, where r is the radius. In this question, the diameter is given as 8 m, so the radius would be half of that, which is 4 m. Plugging this value into the formula, we get (π * 4^2) / 2 = (π * 16) / 2 = 8π / 2 = 4π. Rounding this to the nearest tenth gives approximately 12.6. Therefore, the correct answer is 25.1.Rate this question:

A. 50.2Explanation
The formula to calculate the area of a circle is A = πr², where A is the area and r is the radius. In this case, the radius is given as 4 meters. Plugging this value into the formula, we get A = π(4)² = 16π. To find the approximate value, we can use the approximation π ≈ 3.14. Therefore, the area is approximately 16(3.14) = 50.24. Rounding this to the nearest tenth gives us 50.2, which is the correct answer.Rate this question:
