Max plans to decorate the lids of some kitchen canisters by gluing a single layer of ribbon around the circumference of each lid. The diameters the canisters are 11cm, 13cm, 14cm, and 15cm. To the nearest centimetre, what is the smallest total length of ribbon he can use?frown

The total circumference of the lids is given by   pi [ 11 + 13 + 14 + 15] inches    = pi [ 53]  inches = about  166.5cm   = 167 rounded

 

[Remember that circumference = [ pi * diameter ]
