Answer:

88/7 ft = 12.6 ft (nearest tenth)

Explanation:

Circumference of a circle = 2
\pir

Radius of inner circle

Given:

  • circumference of inner circle = 22ft

  • \pi = 22/7

⇒ 22 = 2 x (22/7) x r

⇒ r = 3.5

So the radius of the inner circle is 3.5 ft

Radius of outer circle

If the distance between the inner circle and the outer circle is 2 ft, then the radius of the outer circle = 3.5 + 2 = 5.5

Circumference of outer circle

Therefore, circumference of outer circle:

= 2 x (22/7) x 5.5

= 242/7 ft

Difference between circumferences

Difference = outer circle circumference - inner circle circumference

= 242/7 - 22

= 88/7 ft

= 12.6 ft (nearest tenth)
