Find Diameter of Circle with 300 Bases - 3.44E-2μm

[anf9292]

Homework Statement

A circle has 300 bases around it..each base being .36nm apart. What is the diameter in micrometers?

Homework Equations

C = pie x diameter

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?
