Question

Amy wants to construct a fence around her sand -box.

The sand -box is circular in shape with a diameter of 3 ft.

What is the length of fencing material she will need to fence one complete circle around her sand -box?



(Use 3.14 for the value of ∏ (pi))

Answer 1

9.42 feet

Explanation:

The distance around the edge of a circle is called the circumference. The formula for circumference is C = dπ where d is the diameter. We are given

d = 3, so we have C = 3π. We are told to use 3.14 for pi, so we have

C = 3(3.14) = 9.42
