Question

Hi can you help me find the correct answer to this question? Thank you.

Answer 1

Answer: We have to find the area and the circumference of the circular flower bed, which has 12 feet diameter:

The formula for the circumference and diameter is:

`\begin{gathered} C=\pi d\rightarrow(1) \\ \\ A=\pi((d)/(2))^2\rightarrow(2) \end{gathered}`

Using (1) and (2) the answers are determined as follows:

`\begin{gathered} C=\pi d=\pi12ft \\ \\ C=12ft \\ \\ ---------- \\ \\ A=\pi((d)/(2))^2=\pi((12ft)/(2))^2=\pi(6ft)^2 \\ \\ A=36\pi ft^2 \end{gathered}`

Therefore the answer is the third option.
