ANSWER

100.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation

The radius of the circular garden is 16 feet.

To find how much wood she would need to make a fence around the garden, we need to find the circumference of the garden.

Circumference can be found using the formula:


C\text{ = 2}\pi r

where r = radius

Therefore:


\begin{gathered} C\text{ = 2 }\cdot\text{ }\pi\cdot\text{ 16} \\ C\text{ = 100.5 ft} \end{gathered}

She would need 100.5 ft length of wood to enclose the garden.
