Question 7 of 42beginner🔧 ApplyNumerical3 marks
Calculate, correct to 3 significant figures, the circumference of a circle with: (i) radius 7 cm (ii) radius 10 cm (iii) radius 12 cm.
(i)
Answer
44.0 cm
(ii)
Answer
62.9 cm
(iii)
Answer
75.4 cm
Explanation
The question requires calculating the circumference of a circle for three different radii, correct to 3 significant figures. Based on the instructions provided in Exercise Set 6.1 of the textbook context, the approximation for pi is taken as 22/7. The standard formula for the circumference of a circle is C = 2πr. After substituting the values, the results are rounded to 3 significant figures as explicitly requested.
