Answer: 12.1 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this we have to apply the circumference formula:
C= 2πr
Where:
C = circumference ( in this case is 76, since the dog can walk a distance of about 76 feet along the circumference.)
r = radius. (In this case the radius is the length of the rope, because the stake is in the center of the circumference)
Replacing with the values given and solving for "r":
76 = 2πr
76 /( 2π)= 12.0957= 12.1 ft
