1. **State the problem:**
Alexis measured the distance across a dinner plate as 22 cm. We need to estimate the radius, diameter, and circumference of the plate.
2. **Recall formulas and rules:**
- Diameter ($d$) is the distance across the circle, so $d = 22$ cm.
- Radius ($r$) is half the diameter: $$r = \frac{d}{2}$$
- Circumference ($C$) is given by: $$C = 2\pi r$$
Use $\pi \approx 3.14$ and round answers to one decimal place.
3. **Calculate the radius:**
$$r = \frac{22}{2}$$
Show cancelation:
$$r = \frac{\cancel{22}}{\cancel{2}} = 11$$
So, radius $r = 11$ cm.
4. **Diameter:**
Given as $d = 22$ cm.
5. **Calculate the circumference:**
$$C = 2 \times 3.14 \times 11$$
$$C = 6.28 \times 11 = 69.08$$
Rounded to one decimal place:
$$C \approx 69.1$$ cm.
**Final answers:**
- Radius: 11 cm
- Diameter: 22 cm
- Circumference: 69.1 cm
