Problem
A clock is shaped like a circle with a diameter of 14 in. To the nearest inch, what is the circumference of the clock?
Step-by-step solution
The circumference of a circle is given by the formula $C = \pi d$. With a diameter $d = 14$ inches and using $\pi \approx \frac{22}{7}$, the circumference is $C = \frac{22}{7} \times 14 = 44$ inches.
Answer
44 in
