Jason designed an arch made of wrought iron for the top of a mall entrance. The 11 segments between the two concentric circles are each 1.25 m long. Find the total length of wrought iron used to make the structure. Round the answer to the nearest meter. Show your work.

How would I solve this and what formulas would I use?

how about just multiplying the section length (1.25m) by the number of sections (11)?

To solve this problem, we need to find the total length of wrought iron used to make the arch. Since the arch consists of 11 segments between the two concentric circles, we can find the total length by multiplying the length of one segment by the total number of segments.

The length of one segment is given as 1.25 m.

So, the total length of wrought iron used is: 1.25 m × 11 segments = 13.75 m

However, we need to round the answer to the nearest meter. To do this, we can round the decimal part of the answer. Since the decimal part is 0.75, which is greater than or equal to 0.5, we round the answer up to 14 meters.

Therefore, the total length of wrought iron used to make the structure is approximately 14 meters.
