Answer:

Circle D

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle can be calculated by multiplying the diameter by π.  Therefore, the circle with the greatest circumference will be the circle with the greatest diameter.

The only circle for which we have been told the radius is Circle D.  The diameter of a circle is twice the radius, therefore the diameter of Circle D is 50 in × 2 = 100 in

There are 12 inches in 1 ft.

Therefore, the circumferences of the circles in order from smallest to largest is:  B < C < A < D

Proof

Diameters

  • Circle A = 8 ft = 96 in
  • Circle B = 10 in
  • Circle C = 2 ft = 24 in
  • Circle D = 2 × 50 in = 100 in
