Question

A circular wimming pool has a radius of 15 ft. There is a path all the way around that pool that is three feet wideWhat is the circumference of the outer edge of the path around the pool? Use 3.14 for pi

Answer 1

Given:

Radius of circular swimming pool = 15ft

Radius of the path around the pool = 3ft

radius of outer edge of the pool = 15 + 3 = 18ft

To find the circumference of the outer edge of the path around the pool, use the formula below:

`C\text{ = 2}\pi\text{ r}`

where,

r = 18 ft

pi = 3.14

Thus, we have:

`C\text{ = 2 }\ast\text{ 3.14 }\ast18\text{ = }113.04\text{ ft}`

Therefore, the circumference of the outer edge of the path around the pool is 113.04 ft

ANSWER:

113.04 ft
