Answer:
<em>1) the exact distance = 9.428571429 feet</em>
<em>the approximate distance = 9.4 feet</em>
<em></em>
<em>2) the exact area = 7.071428571 ft^2</em>
<em>the approximate area = 7 ft^2</em>
<em></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Required diameter d = 3 feet
1) The distance around the outside of the pit is the circumference of the circle that will be formed by this circular fire pit.
circumference of a circle is given as = πd = x 3 = 9.428571429 feet
the exact distance = 9.428571429 feet
the approximate distance = 9.4 feet
2) The area of the circle that will be formed = =
= 7.071428571 ft^2
the exact area = 7.071428571 ft^2
the approximate area = 7 ft^2
