The approximate length of rail that needs to be replaced is 7.1 ft
<h3>Length of arc</h3>
Since the pool is circular, the approximate length that needs to be replaced is an arc of length, L = Ф/360° × πD where
- Ф = central angle of rail section = 27° and
- D = diameter of circular pool = 30 ft
<h3>Approximate length of rail</h3>
So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
L = Ф/360° × πD
L = 27°/360° × π × 30 ft
L = 3/40 × π × 30 ft
L = 3/4 × π × 3 ft
L = 9/4 × π ft
L = 2.25 × π ft
L = 7.07 ft
L ≅ 7.1 ft
So, the approximate length of rail that needs to be replaced is 7.1 ft
