4. Brett is fencing in a circular patio. The radius of the patio is 70 feet. How many linear feet of

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of feet of fencing that he needs will be equal to the perimeter of the circular patio.

We know that the perimeter of a circle of radius R is equal to:

P = 2*pi*R

where pi = 3.14

Then if the radius of the patio is 70ft, the perimeter of the patio will be:

P = 2*3.14*70ft = 439.6 ft

Then he needs 439.6 ft of fencing to enclose the patio.
