Mr. Jones is putting a fence around his pond. If the pond has a radius of 6.5 feet, how much fencing will he need?
circumference = 2 * π * r
C = 2πr
To determine how much fencing Mr. Jones will need, we need to calculate the circumference of the pond. The circumference of a circle can be found using the formula: circumference = 2 * π * radius.
Given that the radius of the pond is 6.5 feet, we can substitute this value into the formula to calculate the circumference.
circumference = 2 * π * 6.5 feet
Using the value of π (pi) as approximately 3.14, we can simplify the formula:
circumference ≈ 2 * 3.14 * 6.5 feet
Now, let's calculate the circumference.
circumference ≈ 2 * 3.14 * 6.5 feet
circumference ≈ 12.92 * 6.5 feet
circumference ≈ 84.28 feet
Therefore, Mr. Jones will need approximately 84.28 feet of fencing to surround his pond.
To find out how much fencing Mr. Jones will need to put around his pond, we need to calculate the circumference of the pond. The circumference of a circle is given by the formula:
Circumference = 2 * π * radius
Given that the radius of the pond is 6.5 feet, we can substitute this value into the formula to find the circumference:
Circumference = 2 * 3.14 * 6.5 feet
Simplifying the expression gives us:
Circumference = 40.84 feet
Therefore, Mr. Jones will need approximately 40.84 feet of fencing to put around his pond.
