Answer:

The circular field would require 1232 kg of fertilizer.

Explanation:

0.5
m^(2) takes 1 kg of fertilizer.

For a circular field of radius 14 m, its area = area of a circle

area of a circle =
\pi
r^(2)

So that,

Area of the circular field =
(22)/(7) x 14 x 14

= 22 x 2 x 14

= 616

Area of the field = 616
m^(2)

Since, 0.5
m^(2) takes 1 kg of fertilizer. Let the kilograms of fertilizer required by the field be represented by x.

Thus,

x =
(616*1)/(0.5)

= 1232

x = 1232 kg

Therefore, the circular field would require 1232 kg of fertilizer.
