Answer:

22 ft

Explanation:

The sprinkler is located in the middle of the circular pattern created by the sprinkler therefore the distance from the center to the end of the circular pattern is called the RADIUS

note:

area of a circle =

1519.76 = 3.14 *

therefore = 1519.76 / 3.14 = 484

therefore radius ( r ) = = 22 ft

The sprinkler is 22 feet away from the spread water
