Question

An architect is designing a circular opening 16 feet in diameter to make room for a spiral staircase. If pi = 3.14, what will the circumference of the circular opening be?

Answer 1

50.24 feet

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: 50.24 feet

Explanation:

Circumference of a circle is given by :-

`C= \pi d`, where d is the diameter of a circle.

Given : An architect is designing a circular opening 16 feet in diameter to make room for a spiral staircase.

i.e. d= 16 feet

Now, circumference of the circular opening will be :-

`C= (3.14) (16)=50.24\ \text{feet}`

Hence, the circumference of the circular opening= 50.24 feet
