A gardener is installing a circular garden. The circumference of the circle 132 feet. What radius should he use to layout the circle if he uses p=22/7?

Respuesta :

You have to start by finding the diameter from the circumference. The formula for circumference is C=[tex] \pi D[/tex]. C is the circumference and D is the diameter.

132ft=[tex] \pi D [/tex] and your looking for D

Your first and only step is to divide 132ft by [tex] \pi [/tex].
[tex]132/ \pi =D[/tex]

D=42ft

Radius is half of the diameter or D. To find the radius you have to divide D by 2.

R=42/2

R=21ft

The radius is 21ft
