Question

A circular swimming pool has a radius of 28ft. There is a path all the way around the pool that's 4ft wide. A fence is going to be built around the outside edge of the pool path? About how many feet of fencing are needed to go around the pool path? Use 3.14forπ

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore 200.96 ft.of fencing are needed to go around the pool path.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, a circular swimming pool has a radius of 28ft. There is a path all the way around the pool. The width of the path 4 ft.

The radius of the outside edge the pool path is

= Radius of the pool + The width of the path

= (28+4) ft

= 32 ft.

To find the length of fencing, we need to find the circumference of outside the pool path.

Here r= 32 ft

The circumference of outside edge of the pool path

=$2\pi r$

$=(2\times 3.14 \times 32) ft$

=200.96 ft.

Therefore 200.96 ft.of fencing are needed to go around the pool path.
