The diameter is 20 ft. Remember that the radius is half the length of the diameter, so let's divide the diameter by 2.
r=20 Ă· 2 = 10
This means that the radius of the circle is 10 cm. Remember that the circumference of a circle with radius r is calculated using the formula below.
C=2Ď€ r
By substituting 10 for r in the formula, we can calculate C. We will use 3.14 for π.
The circumference of the circle is approximately 62.8ft.
