Question

a circular playground has a circumference of 176 feet. What is the distance from the edge of the playground to the middle of the playground?​

Answer 1

The distance from the edge of the playground to the middle of the playground is approximately:

• 28.01 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this exercise you must know PI (3.1416 approximately) which is the result from the circumference divided in the diameter, in the next form:

• PI= circumference/diameter.

How we know the circumference and the valor of PI, we can find the playground diameter:

• PI= circumference/diameter.
• Diameter= circumference/PI
• Diameter= 176 feet/PI
• Diameter= 56.02 feet approximately.

The distance from the edge of a circle to the middle is named radio, which is the half of the diameter, then:

• Radio= Diameter/2
• Radio= 56.02 feet/2
• Radio= 28.01 feet.

How you can see, 28.01 feet is the distance from the edge of the playground to the middle of the playground.
