Question

A lawn sprinkler sprays water 4 feet in all direction as it rotates.

Find the area of the lawn the sprinkler covers. Use 3.14 for pi.

Answer 1

We know that:

• To find the area of a circle, use πr².

Since the sprinkler sprays water 4 feet in all directions, the radius will be 4 ft.

This means that:

• Area of circle = (3.14)4²

Now, let's solve for the area.

• => Area of circle = (3.14)16
• => Area of circle = 3.14 x 16
• => Area of circle = 50.24 ft² [Option D]
