23 Dan does an experiment to find the value of \(\pi\).
He measures the circumference and the diameter of a circle.
He measures the circumference, \(C\), as 170 mm to the nearest millimetre.
He measures the diameter, \(d\), as 54 mm to the nearest millimetre.
Dan uses \(\pi = \dfrac{C}{d}\) to find the value of \(\pi\).
Calculate the upper bound and the lower bound for Dan’s value of \(\pi\). (4)

|---|---|---|---|
| \(d\): UB = 54.5 (or 54.499), LB = 53.5 \(C\): UB = 170.5 (or 170.499), LB = 169.5 \(170.5 \div 53.5\) \(169.5 \div 54.5\) | 3.19 3.11.. | 4 | B1 for any one correct bound quoted M1 for \(170.5 \div 53.5\) or \(169.5 \div 54.5\) A1 for UB = answer in range 3.18 to 3.19 from correct working A1 for LB = 3.11.. from correct working |
