Question

The Merry go Round aboard the ship is a great way to relax. If the merry go

round has a radius of 26 ft., what is its circumference and area?

Answer 1

Circumference:
`163.36ft`

Area:
`2123.72ft^2`

Explanation:

Circumference formula: C = 2πr, where;

C = Circumference

π = (pi) 3.1416

r = radius

Replace the variables in the formula:

`C = 2(3.1416)(26ft)`

C =
`163.36ft`

Area formula: A = π
`r^2`, where;

A = Area

π = (pi) 3.1416

r = radius

Replace the variables in the formula.

`A = (3.1416)(26ft)^2`

`A = 2123.72ft^2`
