Answer:
The circumference will be larger by 3 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the circumference of a circle is C = 2πr, where r is the radius. The circumference can also be expressed as C = 2π [tex]\frac{d}{2}[/tex], where d is the diameter (since the radius is half the diameter).
So, if we increase the diameter by 6:
C = 2π [tex]\frac{(d+6)}{2}[/tex]
C = 2π [tex]\frac{d}{2}+\frac{6}{2}[/tex]
C = 2π [tex]\frac{d}{2}[/tex] + 3
If we compare this to the original equation, C = 2π [tex]\frac{d}{2}[/tex], we see that if we increase the diameter by 6 cm, the circumference will be larger by 3 cm.
