Built in 1599, the Globe Theatre was home to William Shakespeare and his performing company, The Lord Chamberlain’s Men. It was a circular amphitheater that stood 3-stories tall and had a diameter of 100 feet. What formula can you use to calculate the distance around the theatre?

Answer:

C = pi * d formula

C = 314 ft

Explanation:

To find the distance around the theatre, we want to use circumference.

C= 2 * pi *r where r is the radius

or

C = pi * d where d is the diameter

C = pi *100

C = 100pi

Using 3.14 as an approximation for pi

C = 3.14*100

C = 314 ft
