daniel wants to put a fence around the circular garden in his backyard. the measurement from the center to the edge of his garden is 5.2 feet (ft). how many linear ft of fencing will daniel need? use the π button on your calculator for π and round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
______ ft.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula for circumference

The formula for the circumference of a circle is $C = 2\pi r$, where $r$ is the radius of the circle.

Step2: Substitute the given radius

The radius $r = 5.2$ ft. So, $C=2\pi\times5.2$.

Step3: Calculate the result

$C = 10.4\pi\approx10.4\times3.14159 = 32.672536$.

Step4: Round to the nearest hundredth

Rounding $32.672536$ to the nearest hundredth gives $32.67$.

Answer:

$32.67$
