To find the radius (r) of a circle given the circumference (C), you can use the formula for the circumference of a circle, which is:
\[ C = 2\pi r \]
Given that:
\[ C = 56.52 \text{ ft} \]
We can rearrange the formula to solve for the radius (r):
\[ r = \frac{C}{2\pi} \]
Now, substituting the values and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):
\[ r = \frac{56.52}{2 \times 3.14} \]
Calculating the denominator:
\[ 2 \times 3.14 = 6.28 \]
Now substituting back into the equation:
\[ r = \frac{56.52}{6.28} \]
Now, performing the division:
\[ r \approx 9.00 \text{ ft} \]
So the radius (r) of the circle is approximately 9.00 feet.
