Solution

The formula to calculate the circumference of a circle is 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle.

Given that the radius of the pipe is 8 inches, we can substitute this value into the formula:

Circumference = 2π * 8 = 16π

To get the numerical value, we multiply 16 by the value of π (approximately 3.14):

Circumference ≈ 16 * 3.14 = 50.24

Rounding this to the nearest tenth gives us 50.2. So, the minimum size of the clamp that could be fastened to the pipe is 50.2 inches.
