A circular piece of wood has a circumference of exactly 60.5 inches
Which measurement is closest to the radius, in inches, of the piece of wood?
Recall that the circumference of a circular shape is given by
[tex]C=2\pi r[/tex]Where r is the radius.
Substitute C = 60.5 into the above formula and solve for r
[tex]\begin{gathered} 60.5=2\pi r \\ \frac{60.5}{2\pi}=r \\ \frac{60.5}{2(3.14)}=r \\ 9.6=r \\ r=9.6 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the radius of the piece of wood is 9.6 inches.
Option B is the correct answer.
