Question

How many flowers, spaced every 6 inches, are needed to surround a circular garden with a 50 foot radius? Round to the nearest whole number if needed

Answer 1

Given:

The radius of the circular garden is 50 feet.

First, find the circumference of the circle.

`\begin{gathered} C=2\pi* r \\ C=2\pi(50) \\ C=100*3.14 \\ C=314 \end{gathered}`

As we know that 6 inches equal 1/2 feet.

`(314)/((1)/(2))=314*2=628`

Answer: There are 628 flowers will be needed for 314 feet circular garden.
