Work Step by Step

Given the diameter of the circumference of the carpet = 18 ft To find What length (in feet) of a metal protective strip is needed to bind the circumference of the carpet As we know that d = 2r 18 ft = 2r r = $\frac{18}{2}$ = 9 ft We know the circumference of the carpet with radius 9 ft is given by the formula c= 2$\pi$ r = 2$\pi$ * 9 = 18$\pi$ ft = 56.54 ft
