you have a circle thats 20ft wide (circumference 20 ft?), what is the perimeter of the circle?

Question

thanks for your help :)

Answer 1

I get 62.832 ft, since the formula is pi x diameter. This would be 20 x 3.1416
A circle's "perimeter" is called the circumference, and it's "width" is called the diameter.
So I assume you meant "diameter" for "wide", and solved this for 20 ft diameter.

Answer 2

The perimeter of a circle is called the circumference. Normally when you say a circle is 20ft wide, it means the diameter of the circle. Standard formulas will get the circumference:

Circumference = Pi times the diameter

Answer 3

By the way the question is asked, the diameter is 20 ft. The perimeter is the same as the circumference (distance around the circle).

To determine the circumference, use the equations below:

Circumference = (pi)2r

r (radius) = 1/2 (diameter)

Answer 4

Circle 20' wide means a diameter of 20' and perimeter and circumference refer to the same thing.

Circumference = 2.pi.radius or pi.diameter

= 3.14 x 20 = 62.8 feet

Answer 5

Wide Circle
