ANSWER

The radius is 2 feet.

EXPLANATION

The distance around the circular pit is 12.56 feet.

This means that, the circumference is 12.56.

We use the formula,

[tex]C=2\pi \: r[/tex]

Substitute C=12.56 and π=3.14

[tex]12.56 = 2(3.14)r[/tex]

Solve for r.

[tex]r = \frac{12.56}{2(3.14)} [/tex]

Simplify

[tex]r = 2ft[/tex]

Answer: 1.99 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculate the circumference of a circle:

[tex]C=2r\pi[/tex]

Where r is the radius.

Based on the information given in the problem, you know that:

[tex]C=12.56[/tex]

Substitute this value into the formula shown above and solve for the radius.

Then, this is:

[tex]12.56=2r\pi\\r=\frac{12.56}{2\pi}\\r=1.99feet[/tex]
