Question

Desiree wants to place a wire fence around the base of an apple tree... The tree has and mulch area around it, is shaped like a circle that has a radius of 14 inches... What length of fencing does Desiree need? ROUND TO THE NEAREST TENTH AND INCLUDE UNITS IN YOUR ANSWER

Answer 1

( About ) 88 inches

Explanation:

Considering this wire fence to be the circumference of the base of this apple tree, provided it is circular, let us solve for the amount of fencing given the radius of this circle is 14 inches;

`Radius Of Circle - 14 inches,\\Diameter - 14 inches * 2 = 28 inches,\\Circumference - 2\pi r, r = radius,\\\\2\pi r - \pi d, d = diameter,\\\\Circumference Of Circle - \pi * ( 28 inches ) = ( About ) 88 inches\\Length Of Fencing = ( About ) 88 inches`

Length of Fencing rounded to 10th place, ( About ) 88 inches
