To find the radius (r) of a circle from its circumference (C), we can use the formula for the circumference of a circle:
\[ C = 2\pi r \]
Given that the circumference (C) is 43.96 feet, we can plug in the value of C and solve for r using the value of π as 3.14:
\[ 43.96 = 2 \cdot 3.14 \cdot r \]
Now, we can rearrange the equation to solve for r:
\[ r = \frac{C}{2\pi} \]
Substituting the values in:
\[ r = \frac{43.96}{2 \cdot 3.14} \]
Calculating the denominator:
\[ 2 \cdot 3.14 = 6.28 \]
Now we can substitute that back into the equation for r:
\[ r = \frac{43.96}{6.28} \approx 7.006 \]
So, the radius (r) of the circle is approximately 7.01 feet (rounded to two decimal places).
