Answer:

56.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the area of a circle and we are to find the circumference of the same circle.

We know that the area of a circle is given by [tex]\pi r^2[/tex] so equating the given value to get.

[tex]\pi r^2=254.47[/tex]

[tex]r^2=\frac{254.47}{\pi }[/tex]

[tex]r=\sqrt{81.00}[/tex]

r = 9 inches

Since we now know the radius of the circle so we can find its circumference.

Circumference of circle = [tex]2\pi r[/tex] = [tex]2\pi (9)[/tex] = 56.5 inches

Answer: 56.54 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The area can be calculated with this formula:

[tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex]

Where r is the radius

And the circumference can be calculated with this formula:

[tex]C=2\pi r[/tex]

Where r is the radius

Solve for the radius from [tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex]. Then, tha radius is:

[tex]r=\sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi }}=\sqrt{\frac{254.47in^2}{\pi }} =9in[/tex]

Then, the circumference is:

[tex]C=2\pi (9in)=56.54in[/tex]
