3.14 x 81. Once you do this you get your answer. I got 81 by fallowing the formula 3.14r2 (it's supposed to read pic times the radius squared) you square the radius first (multiply the radius by itself) then multiply like a regular equation of 3.14 and 81

Answer:

The circumference of the lamp shade is 57 inches.                      

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A lamp shade has a radius of 9 inches.

To find : The circumference of the top of the shade

Solution : A lamp shade is in a sphere form,

So, formula to find the circumference of sphere is

\(C=2\pi r\)

Now, the radius of lamp is 9 inches and \(\pi=3.14\)

Substitute the value in the formula we get,

\(C=2\pi r\)

\(C=2\times 3.14 \times 9\)

\(C=56.52\)

Round to nearest whole number circumference is 57 .

Therefore,The circumference of the lamp shade is 57 inches.
