circymfence = pi*2*r

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

where r is radius diameter=2r

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

use the diameter = 12 feet :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok umm..... wait a sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10 x 12 x 3.14?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

376.8

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

not quite :)

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

if the diameter is 12 what would the radius be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure :(

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

radius would be half of the diameter what is half of 12? :)

6

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

good :) now plug it into the formula circumference = (pi) (2) (radius) = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

37.68

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

yes :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
