I figure i will put a thumb tack in the middle of the circle with a string that is half the total circle circumference. So how long do i make the string?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Area = 20 sq.ft
\n" ); document.write( "Area of circle = pi*r^2
\n" ); document.write( "20 = pi* r^2
\n" ); document.write( "20/pi = r^2
\n" ); document.write( "6.366 =r^2
\n" ); document.write( "r= sqrt(6.366)
\n" ); document.write( "r=2.52\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Circumference = 2*pi*r
\n" ); document.write( "Circumference = 2*3.14 * 2.52
\n" ); document.write( "Circumference= 15.82 ft\r
