Question

The local gasoline distributor just built a new storage tank. For safety reasons they need to enclose the tank within a circular fence. The radius of the tank is 6 feet and the walkway between the tank and the fence is 4 feet. How much fencing will they need to order to fence off the tank? Round to the nearest tenth>

Answer 1

62.8 feet

Explanation:

Radius of the fencing is:

6+4 = 10 feet

Circumference = 2×pi×r

= 2×pi×10

= 20pi

= 62.83185307 feet
