Question

A square lawn has area 242 ft squared. A sprinkler placed at the center of the lawn sprays water in a circular pattern as shown in the figure. What is the

radius of the circle?

Answer 1

see below

Explanation:

There is no picture attached, but assuming that the circle fits inside the square:

Area of square lawn = 242 ft²

Therefore, length of each side =
`√(242)` =
`11√(2)` ft

Therefore, the radius of the circle will be half of this =
`(11√(2) )/(2)` = 7.78 ft = 93.34 in
