Answer:
The distance from the edge of the playground to the middle of the playground is approximately:
Explanation:
To solve this exercise you must know PI (3.1416 approximately) which is the result from the circumference divided in the diameter, in the next form:
- PI= circumference/diameter.
How we know the circumference and the valor of PI, we can find the playground diameter:
- PI= circumference/diameter.
- Diameter= circumference/PI
- Diameter= 176 feet/PI
- Diameter= 56.02 feet approximately.
The distance from the edge of a circle to the middle is named radio, which is the half of the diameter, then:
- Radio= Diameter/2
- Radio= 56.02 feet/2
- Radio= 28.01 feet.
How you can see, 28.01 feet is the distance from the edge of the playground to the middle of the playground.
