Is it possible to bend a hoop with a diameter of 1.52 m from steel wire 3.5 m long?

1. Let’s check whether it is possible to make a hoop with a diameter of 1.52 m from a given length of wire. To do this, compare the length of the wire with the circumference of the hoop. Then we find the circumference of the hoop if its diameter is known by the formula C = nd, where C is the circumference, n = 3.14, d is the diameter of the hoop:
C = 1.52 * 3.14 = 4.7728 m.
2. Compare the length of the wire with the circumference of the hoop:
3.5 m <4.4428 m, so there is not enough wire for the hoop.
Answer: 3.5 m of wire cannot be used to make a hoop with a diameter of 1.52 m.
