The diameter of a circle is 14 cm. Its circumference is (take ╧А = 22/7):
44 ┬аcm
88 ┬аcm
22 ┬аcm
154 ┬аcm
44 ┬аcm
Since ╧А=22/7and the diameter is a multiple of 7, the circumference must be a multiple of 11. Option A (44) is the only multiple of 11 among the choices.
Diameter of the circle d = 14 cm, ╧А=22/7
C=╧А├Чd
Since ╧А=22/7and the diameter is a multiple of 7, the circumference must be a multiple of 11. Option A (44) is the only multiple of 11 among the choices.
Using the diameter value directly as the radius when applying the formula C = 2 ╧Аr,which leads to double the correct value if not careful.
Identify Given Parameters
Note down the given dimensions from the problem statement: diameter d=14 cm and the given value of ╧А=22/7.
d=14┬аcm
Select the Formula
Use the standard formula for the circumference of a circle in terms of its diameter: C=╧Аd.
C=╧А├Чd
Substitute and Calculate
Substitute the values into the equation: C=722тАЛ├Ч14. Simplifying this gives 22├Ч2=44 cm.
C=722тАЛ├Ч14=44┬аcm
A is correct because the circumference is calculated as 722тАЛ ├Ч14=44cm.
