Final answer:
Option (C), The distance around a circular pond with a diameter of ten yards is the circumference, which can be calculated with the formula C = πd, yielding approximately 31.4159 yards. The closest option provided is 30 yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks for the distance around a circular pond with a diameter of ten yards. This distance is known as the circumference of the circle. To calculate the circumference (C), you can use the formula C = πd, where d is the diameter of the circle and π (pi) is approximately 3.14159. Since the diameter of the pond is given as 10 yards, the calculation is:
C = π × 10 yards = 3.14159 × 10 yards ≈ 31.4159 yards.
Looking at the provided options, none of them exactly match the computed circumference. However, we can round the answer to the closest option, which is Option C) 30 yards, since it's the closest to the actual calculated value of the circumference.
