Question

At a school carnival is the diameter of the map of a trampoline has 12 feet and the diameter of the metal frame is 14 feet what is the length in feet of the metal frame that's around the trampoline use 3.14 for pie and round the answer to the nearest 10th

Answer 1

The length of the steel frame will be approximately 44 feet

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by calculating the circumference of the steel frame. We are working with the fact that the steel frame was welded into a circular shape.

The circumference of the steel frame can be calculated using

`circumference = \pi * d`

where d diameter of the steel frame = 14 feet

`circumference = 3.14 * 14=43.96ft`

Therefore, the length of the steel frame will be approximately 44 feet
