Elizabeth buys a circular rug with a lace border. The lace is 12.56 feet long.
What is the diameter of the rug? Round to the nearest whole number. (Use 3.14 for pi.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

The diameter of the rug is [tex]4\ ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The circumference of a circle (circular rug) is equal to

[tex]C=\pi D[/tex]

where

D is the diameter of the circle

In this problem we have

[tex]C=12.56\ ft[/tex]

substitute in the formula and solve for D

[tex]12.56=(3.14)D[/tex]

[tex]D=12.56/(3.14)=4\ ft[/tex]
