33' circumference with a 17.6 dameter need to fit a number of 5.6 x 7.6 square tarps upon this circle.  How many tarps will be needed for this project?

I have a 33 foot round pool, with a radius of 17.6 feet from the center to the edge.  Not the dameter as stated.  Sorry for the mistake.  I purchased 10 tarps of square size of 5.6 feet x 7.6 feet.  Will the 10 tarps tied together cover the pool or will more tarps be needed?  Thank you all for your help

If the radius is 17.6 feet then the circumference would be 2*pi*17.6 = 110.6 feet

and the diameter would be 35.2 foot so your numbers still don't make sense.

 

Lets say your radius is 17.6 feet

the area is    pi*17.6*17.6 = 973feet^2

 

Each tarp is  5.6*7.6 = 42.56 feet^2 and you have 10 of them so that is   425.6feet^2

 

So no there will not be enough tarps.

Your question makes no sense.

If the circumference is 33' then the diameter is not 17.6'

And

How can a tarp be square if the sides have different lengths?

 

Even if the numbers did makes sense, can the tarps be chopped up or what?

Did you make a mistake somewhere? If the circumference is 33, then the diameter would have to be 33/Pi=10.50 inches. If the diameter is 17.6, then the circumference must be: 17.6 X Pi=55.29.

Check to see where the mistake is before we can help you answer the question.
