Question

Shawn wants to construct a fence around his playground. The playground is circular in shape with a radius of 13ft. What is the length of fencing material he will need to fence one complete circle around his playground? (Use 3.14 for the value of π (pi))

Answer 1

81.64ft

Explanation:

The length of the fencing material is the circumference

Circumference = 2πr

r is the radius = 13ft

π = 3.14

Substitute

Circumference = 2(3.14)(13)

Circumference = 26 * 3.14

Circumference = 81.64ft

Hence the required length is 81.64ft
