if a soccer ball has a circumference of about inches, then we need to find its diameter
(when you put soccer balls to cover the distance between the goalposts, diameter is the length from one soccer ball to another one)
inches=> convert in to ft
=>
the goal is feet wide, so divide it by
...round to whole number => balls would be needed to cover the distance between the goalposts
