cirsumference of a circle equals 2*pie*radius
Answered by Ms. Sue
If the clubhouse is 8 feet by 4 feet, the area wouldn't be 24 feet.

8 * 4 = ?? sq. feet

To find the circumference, multiply Pi times the diameter.

C = 3.14 * 4
C = ??

Answered by Lemar
by multiplying 8 by 4 is 32ft?

C = 1256

if this is the right answer, I still confused, please help me understand
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes. The area of the clubhouse is 32 square feet.

But you're way off on the circumference. Where does the decimal point go?
Answered by Lemar
C= 12.56
Answered by Ms. Sue
Right. The circumference of the circle is 12.56 feet.
