What is 3.12 in diameter to inches?

Diameter is not a unit of length and so the only appropriate answer is, perhaps, "As long as the piece of string!"


How big in diameter is one and a half inches?

"One and a half inches" is approximately the same length as 38.1 millimeters (rounded), regardless whether it refers to a piece of string, a measurement of a geographic figure, or a blade of grass. A circle whose diameter is one and a half inches has an area of 1.767 square inches. (rounded)


Mark has a piece of string 12 inches long he shapes string into rectangle that encloses an area of 5 square inches Can Mark enclose a greater area with the same string If sowhat is the area?

If Mark makes a circle, that circle would have a circumference of 12 inches. The formula for circumference is pi times diameter, so the circumference divided by pi will give you the diameter of 3.82 inches. Divide this by 2 to get the radius of 1.91 inches. Area of a circle is pi times the radius squared. 1.91 squared is 3.6481. Multiply this by pi to get 11.46 square inches of area inside the circle. A circle is always the most efficient use of space possible given a fixed perimeter. If Mark makes a square with equal sides where all sides are 3 inches, the area would be 9 square inches. 3 X 3 = 9


How many cubic inches is a pipe 16 inches in diameter?

201.1 cubic inches for every inch long the piece of pipe is.


How could you use a piece of string thumbtack and a pencil to construct a circle with radius AB?

Loop the string around the thumbtack and the pencil so that the distance from the tack to the pencil point is AB units. Fix the thumbtack to where you want the centre of the circle. Using the pencil, and with the string taut, mark its positions. These will lie on a circle with radius AB.

How do you discover pi?

First draw a circle using a compass. Now, use a piece of string to help measure the circumference of the circle. Now measure the diameter of the circle. To discover Pi divide the circumference by the diameter.

What is a pie in mathematics?

pi in mathematics is used to determine the circumference of a circle. if you take a piece of string the length of the diameter of the cicle it would go around the circle 3.14159265358978 times (pi).


A curve or circle in a piece of string?

That could be a loop.


When a piece of a circle is determined by two radius that piece is best called a?

Diameter


Why do you have to use pi to compute the circumference of a circle?

You don't actually. You can just get out a piece of string and then lay it on the circle and then measure the length of string used to go all the way around the circle. But if you want to compute the circumference pi is the constant that multiplied by the diameter gives the correct answer. It's just one of those mysteries of nature.


Mea has a piece of string that is 20 inches long if she cuts the string in 7 equal pieces about how long is each piece?

Each piece of string is :1/7 x 20 = 2 6/7 or 2.857 inches (3dp)
