Answer

The circumference of the circle is$40\pi \text{ ft or 126}\ \text{ft}$and the area of the circle is $400\pi \text{ f}{{\text{t}}^{2}}\text{ or }1,256\text{ f}{{\text{t}}^{2}}$.

Work Step by Step

A circle is a round plane figure whose boundary consisting of points equidistant from a fixed point (center). The area is expressed as the space enclosed between closed figures to the extent of a two-dimensional figure. Use the formula to compute the circumference of a circle can be shown below, \[\begin{align} & \text{Circumference of circle}=2\pi r \\ & =2\times \pi \times 20\text{ ft} \\ & =40\pi \text{ ft} \end{align}\] Or, Circumference of circle \[\approx 126\text{ ft}\] Compute the area of the circle as shown below, \[\begin{align} & \text{Area of circle}=\pi {{r}^{2}} \\ & =\pi \times 20\text{ ft}\times 20\text{ ft} \\ & =400\pi \text{ f}{{\text{t}}^{2}} \end{align}\] Or, Area of circle \[\approx 1,256\text{ f}{{\text{t}}^{2}}\] Hence, the circumference and area of the circle calculated using the formula are $40\pi \text{ ft or 126}\ \text{ft}$and$400\pi \text{ f}{{\text{t}}^{2}}\text{ or }1,256\text{ f}{{\text{t}}^{2}}$ respectively.
