A homeowner is building a circular fire pit in his backyard. He plans to outline the pit with bricks and cover the space inside the pit with sand. The homeowner has decided to build the pit with a diameter of 3 feet. 1. In order to know how many bricks to buy, the homeowner must know the distance around the outside of the pit. Calculate both the exact distance and the approximate distance.

2. In order to know how much sand to buy, the homeowner must know how much space needs to be covered inside the pit. Calculate both the exact area and the approximate area.

1) the exact distance = 9.428571429 feet

the approximate distance = 9.4 feet

2) the exact area = 7.071428571 ft^2

the approximate area = 7 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Required diameter d = 3 feet

1) The distance around the outside of the pit is the circumference of the circle that will be formed by this circular fire pit.

circumference of a circle is given as = πd = x 3 = 9.428571429 feet

the exact distance = 9.428571429 feet

the approximate distance = 9.4 feet

2) The area of the circle that will be formed = = = 7.071428571 ft^2

the exact area = 7.071428571 ft^2

the approximate area = 7 ft^2
