I want to bend a 12 foot sheet of Plexiglas into a circle - what will the diameter of that circle be?
The circumference (distance around) will be 12 feet
C = πd {circumference = pi x diameter}
12 = 3.14d {circumference is 12 and pi is 3.14}
d ≈ 3.82 feet {divided both sides by 3.14}
3.82 feet will be the diameter of the circle
