Question 626831: a semicircular driveway has a diameter of 180 ft. How long is the driveway?
Use 3.14 for Pie
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
C = pi*d

C = 3.14*180

C = 565.2

So the circumference of the entire circle is 565.2 feet

Therefore, half of the circle is 565.2/2 = 282.6 feet (approximately)
