The circumference of the inner circle is 22 ft. The distance between the inner circle and the outer circle is 2 ft. By how many feet is the circumference of outer circle greater than the circumference of the inner​ circle? Use 22/7 for pi .

Sagot :

Answer: 25.1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the radius of the inner circle

(the formula for the circumference of a circle is )   C =2pi r

To find the radius of the inner circle, you would plug in the given information so that your equation looks like this:

22 = 2(22/7)r

then solve for r

r = 3.5

2. add 4 to the radius of the inner circle

3.5 + 4 = 7.5

3. find the circumference of the outer circle using 7.5 as the radius

22 = 2 (22/7) 7.5

C = 47.1

4. Subtract the circumference of the inner circle from the circumference of the outer circle

47.1 - 22 = 25.1
