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.
