The spray from a sprinkler reaches 21 feet from the sprinkler and creates a circle as it spins. What is the circumference of the circle sprayed by the sprinkler? Use 22 7 for π.

Answer

D: 132 ft

C= π2r

So, take pi and multiply that by two..

π2= 6.28

Now, take your radius and multiply it by 6.28.

21 x 6.28= 131.88

Round it two the nearest whole number, which is 132!

Hope this helps!

The formula for circumference is C = 2 x pi x radius

c = 2 x 22/7 x 21

C = 132

The circumference is 132 feet
