we need some barriers such that total of length of all barriers should equal to the circumference of the circle.
so lets assume we need x barriers
then total length of all barriers = 2.5x meter
now radius of circular path = diameter / 2= 13/2 = 6.5 meter
circumference of path = 2× pi × r = 2 × 3.14 × 6.5
=40.82 meter
so now as per statement
2.5x = 40.82
x = 40.82/2.5 = 16.328 ≈ 17
so approximately 17 barriers are required
Answer:
Answer in explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we would be examining the validity of some statements on the number π(pi)
π Is a whole number?
This is wrong, π is a fraction of 22 to 7 parts I.e 22/7
π Is double the radius?
This is wrong. It is the diameter that is double the radius
π Is approximately 3.14?
This is correct to an extent. The actual value in decimal is around 3.142857142857143 which makes the 3.14 somehow correct
π represents the ratio of the circumference of the circle to the diameter?
This is correct.
Mathematically, circumference C = π * diameter D
Hence C/D = π
π Is approximately 22/7?
This is correct. This is the ratio used for π
