ANSWER :

62.83 feet

EXPLANATION :

The pie has a diameter of 20 feet.

The size of the crust covering is the circumference of the pie.

The circumference formula is :


C=2\pi r

We know that the radius is half of diameter.

So the radius is 20/2 = 10 feet.

Using the formula above :


\begin{gathered} C=2\pi(10) \\ C=62.83 \end{gathered}
