Answer:  5 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a circle circumscribed about a rectangle,

Then the diameter of the circle = Diagonal of the rectangle,

Here, the length of the rectangle = 8 cm,

And, the width of the rectangle = 6 cm,

[tex]\implies \text{Diagonal}=\sqrt{(\text{Length})^2+(\text{width})^2}[/tex]

[tex]=\sqrt{8^2+6^2}=\sqrt{64+36}=\sqrt{100}=10[/tex]

Thus, the diameter of the circle = 10 meters

⇒ Radius of the circle = diameter/2 = 10/2 = 5 meters.
