Answer:

about $1148.06

Explanation:

Your goal is to find the area of the island of grass and multiply that area by the cost per square yard.

Area = radius * radius * pi

You are told that the diameter = 15 yards. We also know that the radius that we need is half of the diameter. Radius = 7.5 yards.

This means that the Area = 7.5 * 7.5 * 3.14 = 176.625 square yards

Then we multiply by the cost per square yard:

176.625 * 6.50 = 1148.06 is your answer
