cirsumference of a circle equals 2*pie*radius
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 = ??
8 * 4 = ?? sq. feet
To find the circumference, multiply Pi times the diameter.
C = 3.14 * 4
C = ??
by multiplying 8 by 4 is 32ft?
C = 1256
if this is the right answer, I still confused, please help me understand
C = 1256
if this is the right answer, I still confused, please help me understand
Yes. The area of the clubhouse is 32 square feet.
But you're way off on the circumference. Where does the decimal point go?
