Question

Meredith works at a horse stable. Her job is to exercise the horses. The stable has a circular area that Meredith runs the horses within. The diameter of the fencing is 16 yards. What is the length of the fence?

Answer 1

\[C=2\pi r\]
\[C=2\pi (8) \]
\[C=16\pi\]
\[C \approx 50.27 yards\]

Answer 2

16π yards as a answer?

Answer 3

\[16\pi\] is a correct answer and it is the most accurate answer and the answer I would prefer as a teacher. Some teachers might prefer a strictly numeric answer which is the final result I gave and is the reason I gave it as an approximation. If your teacher is good with answers in terms of pi, I would use 16pi though.

Thanks!
