Complete question :

A circular swimming pool has a radius of 28 ft. There is a path all around the pool that is 4 ft wide. A fence is going to be built around the outside edge of the pool path.

About how many feet of fencing are needed to go around the pool path

Answer:

201 feets

Explanation:

The Circumference of a circle, C :

C = 2 * pi * r

r = Radius ; pi = 3.14

The entire Radius = pool radius + pathnaroind the pool = 28 + 4 = 32

Hence, the Circumference, which gives the value of fencing required is :

C = 2 * 3.14 * 32

C = 200.96 ft

C = 201 feets
