Question

in a circular garden the distance from the center of the circle to the edge is 15ft . If a gardner wants to plant roses in a 60 degrees sector of the circle , what is the area of the rose garden

Answer 1

Approximately 117.81 ft²

Explanation:

Find the area of the whole circle

A=πr²

A=π(15)²

A=706.86 ft²

Now you need to find the area of the garden covered in roses, so take the total degrees in a circle (360) and divide it by the degrees of the roses (60).

360/60=6

Take the area of the whole circle (706.86 ft²) and divide it by the number you just got (6). The number you get will be the area of the rose section.

706.86/6= 117.81 ft²
