The Japanese 5 yen coin has a hole in the middle. The diameter of the coin is 22 mm and the diameter of the hole is 5 mm. What is the difference between the outer edge and the inner edge of the coin? If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer
A
26.7 mm
B
53.4 mm
C
69.1 mm
D
84.8 mm

Explanation

The difference between the outer and inner edge lengths is the difference between their circumferences. Using circumference = π × diameter, the difference is π × (22 − 5) = 17π ≈ 53.4 mm. So the difference is 53.4 mm, choice B.
