Answer:

3.80

Explanation:

The circumference has /pi and diameter

lets just say pi is 3.14

24/3.14 = 7.64

that means the diameter is 7.64

Radius is half, or 1/2 of the diameter

7.64/2 = 3.82

radius = 3.82

3.82 rounded is 3.8

given:

circumference= 24 feet

to find:

the radius of the circle.

solution:


c = 2\pi \: r


r = (c)/(2\pi)


r = (24)/(2 * \pi)


r = 3.81972


r = 3.8 \: ft

therefore, the radius of the circle is 3.8 feet.
