If you mean a circle with a diameter of 28 cm, the circumference is 87.96459430051421067695392... using pi to 23 decimal places.* * * * *The answer above implies that the diameter of the circle was measure to an accuracy of 23 decimal places. Very unlikely, I suggest!
Pi ( 3.142 approx.) is the amount of times the diameter of a circle can be measured along the circumference of a circle. We know that Pi multiplied by the diameter of the circle is equal to it circumference. So we write C=PiD This means, as it says above, that a certain number of "Pi's" will be equal to the circumference.
pi*radius2 = 1693.14 square inches Make the radius the subject of the above then double for the diameter diameter = 46.430 inches to 3 decimal places
Set a compass to draw a circle with a radius that's more than half the length of the line segment but less than the whole length.Put the compass point at one end of the segment and draw an arc above the middle of the segment and another below the middle of the segment.Put the compass point at the other end of the segment and again draw arcs above and below the middle of the segment, intersecting the first two arcs.Draw a line connecting the point where the two arcs intersect above the segment and the point where they intersect below the segment.That's your perpendicular bisector.
