Answer 1

Explanation:

It is given that, Steve is making a circular shield with a radius of 11 inches for a school play. We need to find the length of cardboard he need to make the outer border of the shield. It means that we need to find the circumference of the circular shield of radius 11 inches.

So,

`C=2\pi r\\\\C=2* 3.14* 11\\\\C=69.08\ \text{inches}`

So, he will need 69.08 inches of cardboard to make the outer border of the shield.
