Question

A museum groundskeeper is creating a semicircular statuary garden with a diameter of 31 feet. There will be a fence around the garden. The fencing costs $8.25 per linear foot. About how much will the fencing cost altogether?

Answer 1

Answer: $657.53

Explanation:

Circumference of a circle = πd

But in this case, it's a semi circle, so the circumference will be:

= πd/2

= (3.142 × 31) / 2

= 97.402/2

= 48.701

Then, the total amount of the fencing will be:

= 48.701 + 31

= 79.701

Then, the fencing cost will be:

= 79.701 × $8.25

= $657.53
