Question

PLEASE HELP!

An architect is designing a circular window to be installed in the
gable of a house. The metal window frame will be 1 foot wide and will be bordered by
the roof above and a wood beam below. The distance from the center of the window to the roof is 3 feet. What will be the circumference of the circular glass pane that will be
needed?

Answer 1

Exact Circumference = 4pi feet

Approximate Circumference = 12.56 feet (when using pi = 3.14)

======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The larger circle has a 3 foot radius.

The inner circle has a 3-1 = 2 foot radius.

Let's find the circumference of the smaller inner circle, which represents the glass window and ignores the metal frame surrounding it.

C = 2pi*r

C = 2pi*2

C = 4pi

The exact circumference is 4pi feet. This is the perimeter around the circle.

If you wanted, you can use an approximation like pi = 3.14 to find that 4pi = 4*3.14 = 12.56 feet is the approximate circumference.
