Question

A circular garden has a circumference of 50 yards. Lars is digging a straight line along a diameter of the garden at a rate of 4 yards per hour. How many hours will it take him to dig across the garden? Use 3.14 for π and round the diameter to the nearest whole number, if necessary.

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

The first step is to calculate the radius

r= C/2π

= 50/2×3.142

= 50/6.284

= 7.96

Hence the diameter to the nearest whole number is 8
