Question

A gardener makes the new circular flower bed the bed is 14 feet in diameter calculate the circumference and the area of a circular flower bed

Answer 1

The circumference of the flower bed is 44 feet (approximately) and its area is 154 feet² (approximately).

Explanation:

Given:

Diameter of the flower bed is 14 feet.

Now, to calculate its area and circumference we need the radius.

So, radius(r) is half of the diameter.

`r=14/ 2`

`r=7 feet`

Now, to get the circumference(C) we put the formula:

`C=2\pi r`

taking π = 3.14

`C=2* 3.14* 7`

`C=43.96`

Circumference = 43.96 feet.

And, to get the area(a) we put the formula:

`a=\pi r^(2)`

`a=3.14* 7^(2)`

`a=3.14* 49`

`a=153.86`

Area = 153.86 feet².

Therefore, the circumference of the flower bed is 44 feet (approximately) and its area is 154 feet² (approximately).
