A circular fountain has a drain in the center. The distance from the drain to the edge of the fountain is 3 feet. What is the approximate circumference of the fountain?

 

Answer:

The approximate circumference is 18.84 ft. or 19 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius = Drain from the center to the edge of the fountain

Radius = 3 ft.

Circumference of the circular fountain = 2πr

Where:

π = 3.14

r = 3 ft.

Solution:

Circumference = 2 (3.14) (3 ft.)

Circumference = (6.28)(3 ft)

Circumference ≈ 18.84 ft.
