Question

Kendrick is planting a circular flower garden with a low fence around the border. He has 38 feet of fence. What is the radius of the largest garden he can make?

Answer 1

Answer:
`6.04\ ft`

Explanation:

Given

The fence has a length of 38 ft i.e. it is the circumference of the circular flower

The circumference of the circle is
`2\pi r`

Insert the values

`\Rightarrow 2\pir=38\\\\\Rightarrow 2* (22)/(7)* r=38\\\\\Rightarrow r=(38* 7)/(2* 22)\\\\\Rightarrow r=(266)/(44)\\\\\Rightarrow r=6.04\ ft`

The largest radius of the garden is
`6.04\ ft`
