Recall the formula for finding circumference of a circle.
≈ 30ft
Consider the given circle.
From the figure, we know that the circumference of the circle is 94.24 feet.
The circumference C of a circle with radius r is calculated using the formula below.
Let's substitute 94.24 for C in the formula and solve the equation for r.
C= 94.24
