Answer to Question #124094 in Geometry for Tina

Question

Mpho has a circular swimming pool with a radius of 6.2 m. She wants to buy net to
cover the pool completely. What is the minimum length and width of the piece of net
that she must buy to cover the pool?

Answer 1

As per the given

Radius of the circle is 6.2m

As Mpho wants to cover the pool completely with net so it needs to first calculate the diameter which is:

Diameter of the radius = (2×Radius)

Diameter = 2×6.2m

Diameter = 12.4m

Also we know that the diameter is the same as the length or width of any circle. No further calculation is required to look for the length and width so Mpho should buy net according toh the 12.4m length and width of the circled swimming pool.
