Question

The circumference of a circular field is 279.46 yards. What is the radius of the field? Use 3.14 for π and do not round your answer.

Answer 1

44.5 yards

Explanation:

Start with the formula of the circumference of a circle.

C = πd

Now all you have to do is plug in the numbers.

279.46 = (3.14)d

Divide both sides by 3.14

d = 89

But since you're finding the radius, you have to divide the diameter by 2.

89/2 = 44.5
