the correct question is
What is the approximate circumference of the largest circle that could be cut out of an 8 1/2-inch by 11-inch piece of paper? use 3.14 for p and round to the nearest inch?
we know that
the circumference=pi*D
where D is the diameter
dimensions piece of paper
8 1/2 in x 11 in----> 8.5 in x 11 in
so
The longest diameter (that remains on the paper) would be 8.5 inches
circumference=3.14*8.5-----> 26.69 in------> nearest inch----> 27 in
the answer is
27 in
