A circular swimming pool has a radius of 28 ft. There is a path all the way around the pool that is 4 ft wide. A fence is going
to be built around the outside edge of the pool path. A circle has a radius of 28 feet. A larger circle goes around the smaller circle that is 4 feet wide.
About how many feet of fencing are needed to go around the pool path? Use 3.14 for Pi.
88 ft
100 ft
176 ft
201 ft
The number of feet of fencing that is needed to go around the pool path is D. 201 ft.
<h3>How to calculate the number of feet?</h3>
We have a pool with a radius of 28 feet. The radius of the outer edge of the pool path would be equal to the radius of the pool plus the width of the path.
= (28 + 4) feet
= 32 feet
The circumference of the outer edge of the pool path would be equal to the perimeter.
