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.
