Calculate the radius (r) of a circle with a circumference of 131.88 feet.
d = C ÷ π/2
Use 3.14 for π

1 answer

To calculate the radius of a circle given its circumference, we can use the formula for the circumference of a circle:

\[ C = 2\pi r \]

Where:

  • \( C \) is the circumference,
  • \( r \) is the radius,
  • \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14.

Given that the circumference \( C \) is 131.88 feet, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the radius \( r \):

\[ r = \frac{C}{2\pi} \]

Now, substituting the values into the equation:

\[ r = \frac{131.88 \text{ ft}}{2 \times 3.14} \]

Calculating the denominator:

\[ 2 \times 3.14 = 6.28 \]

Now, substituting this back into the equation for \( r \):

\[ r = \frac{131.88}{6.28} \]

Now, perform the division:

\[ r \approx 21.0 \text{ ft} \]

So, the radius \( r \) of the circle is approximately 21.0 feet.
