To calculate the circumference of a circle, you use the formula:
Circumference (C) = π Diameter (D)
Where π (pi) is a constant approximately equal to 3.14, and Diameter (D) is the length of a straight line passing through the center of the circle and touching two points on its edge.
Given that the diameter of the circle is 56 yards, we substitute the known values into the formula:
C = π D
C = 3.14 56 yards
Now, we multiply 3.14 by 56 to find the circumference:
C = 3.14 56
C = 175.84 yards
Since we need to round our answer to the nearest hundredth, we look at the third decimal place (if there was one). In this case, our answer has two decimal places already, and it doesn't require any further rounding as it is already rounded to the nearest hundredth.
So the circumference of the circle is approximately 175.84 yards when rounded to the nearest hundredth.
