Answer:

A) 200

Explanation:

the irrigation pipe here will be the radius of the circle.

so, we need to use the area of a circle formula to find the radius:


a = \pi {r}^(2)

where a is area and r is radius.

now, we have area as 125 600.

substitute the value of a given as well as the approximation of pi.


125600 = 3.14 {r}^(2)

then, divide both sides by 3.14 and then take the square root,


{r}^(2) = (125600)/(3.14) \implies \: {r}^(2) = 40000


\to r = √(40000) = 200

so, our answer is A.

Answer:

A) 200 ft

Explanation:

The area (
\sf A) of a circle is given by the formula:


\sf A = \pi r^2

where
\sf r is the radius.

In this case, we know the area
\sf A is 125,600 square feet, and we want to find the length of the irrigation pipe, which is the radius of the circle.

Now, let's use the given information to find the radius (
\sf r) f.


\sf A = \pi r^2


\sf 125,600 = \pi r^2

Now, solve for
\sf r:


\sf r^2 = (125,600)/(\pi)


\sf r = \sqrt{(125,600)/(3.14 )}


\sf r = √(40000)


\sf r = 200

So, the length of the pipe is A) 200 ft
