    The distance from the edge of the playground to the middle of the playground is approximately:

    28.01 feet.

    Explanation:

    To solve this exercise you must know PI (3.1416 approximately) which is the result from the circumference divided in the diameter, in the next form:

    PI = circumference/diameter.

    How we know the circumference and the valor of PI, we can find the playground diameter:

    PI = circumference/diameter. Diameter = circumference/PI Diameter = 176 feet/PI Diameter = 56.02 feet approximately.

    The distance from the edge of a circle to the middle is named radio, which is the half of the diameter, then:

    Radio = Diameter/2 Radio = 56.02 feet/2 Radio = 28.01 feet.

    How you can see, 28.01 feet is the distance from the edge of the playground to the middle of the playground.
