Question

A gardener wants to fence a circulr garden of diameter 42m. find the length of the barbed wire he needs to purchase if he makes 4 rounds if the fence

Answer 1

528 M

Explanation:

CIRCUMFERENCE OF GARDEN= 2 pi r

r=42/2 =21

circumference = 2x (22/7) x21

=132 m

To make 4 rounds= 4 x 132 = 528m

Answer 2

The circumference of a circle is given by the formula C = 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle.

Since the diameter of the garden is 42m, the radius is half of that, which is:

r = 42m / 2 = 21m

The circumference of the circular garden is therefore:

C = 2πr = 2π(21m) = 42πm

If the gardener makes 4 rounds of the fence, he will need to purchase 4 times the circumference of the garden in barbed wire. Therefore, the length of barbed wire he needs to purchase is:

4 x 42πm = 168πm

This is approximately equal to 527.79m, if we use the value of π to two decimal places.
