| | thank you.. I guess I need a little more help, cause I have that info, I am not sure how to do that part though.
I have the area at 10 ft ^2
so how do I figure the circumference with that? I guess first figure out the radius? and how do I do that?
thank you so much! really.. sorry for needing more help... hope you can help me! |

| | Thank you.. could you check this and see if it is correct?
r^2=10/pi
3.183098862=r^2
20=2(pi)(3.183098862)
so the cirucumference is 20? is that right? |
