Answer:


L_s=7.85\ m

Explanation:

Length Of Semicircles

The length of a circle or radius r is


L=2\pi r

A semicircle has half this length:


L_s=\pi r

The radius of the flowerbed is 2.5 m, thus the length of the edging material needed to border the lawn design is


L_s=\pi (2.5)=(3.14)(2.5)=7.85\ m


\boxed{L_s=7.85\ m}
