The circular fountain in front of the courthouse has a circumference of 29.5 feet. What is the radius of the fountain? Round to the nearest tenth.
To find the radius of the fountain, we can use the formula for circumference of a circle: C = 2πr.
Given that the circumference of the fountain is 29.5 feet, we can plug in the values and solve for the radius:
29.5 = 2πr
Divide both sides by 2π:
r = 29.5 / (2π)
r ≈ 4.7 feet
Therefore, the radius of the fountain is approximately 4.7 feet.
