1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
A circle has 300 bases around it..each base being .36nm apart. What is the diameter in micrometers?
2. Relevant equations
C = pie x diameter
3. The attempt at a solution
.36nm x 300 bases = 108nm is the circumference
108nm = pie x diameter
108nm / pie = 34.4nm
34.4nm x .001 micrometers = 3.44E-2
correct?
