Question

A gardener makes a new circular flower bed. The bed is teen feet in diameter. Calculate the circumference and the area of the circular flower bed.

Answer 1

I. Circumference of circular flower bed = 31.42 ft.

II. Area of circular flower bed = 78.55 ft²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Diameter = 10 ft

Radius = diameter/2

Radius = 10/2

Radius, r = 5 ft

I. To find the circumference of the circular flower bed;

Circumference of circle = 2πr

Substituting into the formula, we have

Circumference of circular flower bed = 2*3.142*5

Circumference of circular flower bed = 31.42 ft

II. To find the area;

Area of circle = πr²

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Area of circular flower bed = 3.142*5²

Area of circular flower bed = 3.142*25

Area of circular flower bed = 78.55 ft²
