Answer:

20 feet

Explanation:

A water sprinkler sends water out in a circular pattern. How many feet away from the sprinkler can it spread water if the area formed by the watering pattern is 1256.00 square​ feet? Use 3.14 for pi

From the above question, we are to find the radius of the circular pattern

The formula for the Area of the circle = πr²

To find r

r² = A/π

r = √A/π

In the above question, Area = 1256 square feet

π = 3.14

r = √1256/3.14

r = √400

r = 20 feet

The radius/distance from the sprinkler that can spread water = 20 feet
