Question

A school’s art teacher designs a circular flower bed inside a rectangular sandbox. The sandbox is 6 feet wide and 10 feet long. How many square feet will there be for sand after the flower bed is installed? Use 3.14 for pi. ROUND the answer to the NEAREST SQUARE FOOT.

A. 22 square feet
B. 28 square feet
C. 32 square feet
D. 41 square feet

Answer 1

To do this, we subtract the area of the flower bed from the area of the sandbox: 60 square feet (sandbox) - 28.26 square feet (flower bed) = 31.74 square feet. 5. We are asked to round the answer to the nearest square foot, so the final answer is approximately 32 square feet.
