A golf course has a circular island of grass with a diameter of 15 yards. The mowing company charges $6.50 per square yard. How much will the golf course have to pay to maintain the grass on the circular island?

Answer 1

Answer:
Will cost about $1148.62

Answer 2

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
