To find the circumference of a circle, we can use the formula:
C = 2πr
where C is the circumference and r is the radius of the circle. Since the problem gives us the diameter, we can calculate the radius by dividing the diameter by 2:
r = Diameter / 2 = 28 inches / 2 = 14 inches
Now, we can plug the radius back into the circumference formula:
C = 2π(14 inches)
Calculating this gives:
C = 28π inches
Using an approximate value for π, which is about 3.14, we can calculate:
C ≈ 28 x 3.14 ≈ 87.92 inches
Rounding this to the nearest inch, we get:
C ≈ 88 inches
Therefore, the circumference of the circle is approximately 88 inches.
