Problema Solution
A circular rug is 6 feet in diameter. How many feet of fringe is required to edge this rug? Express the required calculation in terms of pi, and then round to the nearest tenth.
Answer provided by our tutors
we need to find the length of circumference of a circle with diameter d = 6 ft
C = d*pi
C = 6*pi ft
pi = 3.14159
C = 6*3.14159
C = 18.85 ft
6pi feet or 18.85 ft of fringe are required.
