Pam served her apple pie on a 13 inch diameter dish. She wanted to tie a ribbon around the dish to make it a little more festive. How long does the ribbon need to be in order to fit around the dish

Length of ribbon = 40.86 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the ribbon = circumference of the dish = πD

D = diameter = 13 inches

Length of ribbon = 22/7 x 13 = 40.857143 inches

40.9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The question say that:

First and foremost, we need to know what this question is all about.

The dish is obviously a circle in terms of its shape and the dish has a diameter of of 13 inch.

The circumference of a circle is 2 pi * radius

And we all know that how long a circle is it's circumference.

Diameter is twice of a radius so if the diameter is 13 inch, then the radius will be 13/2 = 6.5 inch

Circumference = 2 * 22/7 * 6.5 = 40.857 inches.

Therefore, the length of the ribbon to be tied round the plate is 40.9 inches.
