inches. This is (18.84, 9.42, 37.68, 12.57)

inches less than the circumference of the new container.

Answer 1

The circumference of the original container is 12.57 inches.

The cirucmference of the original container is 12.57 inches less than the circumference of the new container.

What is the circumference of the cylinder?

The circumference of a cylinder is the distance round the cylinder. It is the perimeter of the cylinder.

The circumference of a cylinder = πD

Where:

• π = 22/7
• D = diameter

The circumference of the original container = 22/7 x 4 = 12.57 inches

The circumference of the family sized container 12.57 x 2 = 25.14 inches

Difference in the circumference = 25.14 - 12.57 = 12.57 inches
