Question

Farmer johns wants to make a circular Corral for his horses. If the diameter is to be 500 m, how many meters of fencing is needed? Round to the nearest whole number? Use 3.14 for pie.

Answer 1

1570 meters

Explanation:

The circumference of a circle is 2πr, so we would start by finding the radius. The radius is half of the diameter, so r=1/2(500)=250. We would then plug in numbers to the equation getting:

2(250)(3.14)

=500(3.14)

=1570 meters
