Answer:
Swimming one time around the pool is 56.5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Swimming 18 ft from one side of her circular pool to the other, swimming straight through the center means the circular swimming pool has a diameter of d=18 ft.
The circumference of the circle is calculated using:
where d=18 is the diameter and π=3.14 as given.
We substitute the values to get:
We approximate to the nearest tenth to get:
