19. A dartboard consists of five concentric circles. The radius of the smallest circle
is about 1 in. The radius of the second circle is about 3 in. longer. The radius
of the third circle is about 1 in. longer than the previous circle. The radius of
the fourth circle is about 2 in. longer than the previous circle. The radius of
the largest circle is about 0.75 in. greater than the previous circle. What is the
difference between the circumferences of the largest and the smallest circle?
Round your answer to the nearest tenth of an inch. 42.4 in.
