When it gets hot, children play in Burlington's circular water fountain. According to the architectural plans, it has a circumference of 119.32 meters. What is the fountain's radius?

Respuesta :

Circumference of a circle formula

[tex]C=2\pi r[/tex]

where r is the radius of the circle.

Substituting with C = 119.32 meters and solving for r:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 119.32=2\pi r \\ \frac{119.32}{2\pi}=\frac{2\pi r}{2\pi} \\ 19\text{ meters }\approx r \end{gathered}[/tex]
