Use a tape measure or ruler
to find the height.
There are two ways to find
the circumference.
Method 1
Use a tape measure to find
the circumference.
Method 2
Use the formula for circumference:
Measure the diameter of the cup and
multiply by 3.14, or pi ( ).
circumference = diameter x
60
Answer: The height of the structure of the cup on the
cubes is decidedly less than the circumference of the cup.
It’s easy to estimate the height or length of an object, but it’s difficult
to predict the length of the circumference.
height
circumference
diameter x 3.14
Whichever method you
use, you’ll find that the
circumference is greater
than the height of the
whole structure (two
cubes + cup).
