Answer:

Explanation:

Mr. Rives' rotating sprinkler waters his lawn up to a radius of 7 feet. The formula for determining the area of a circle is expressed as

Area = πr²

Where

π is a constant whose value is 3.14.

r represents the radius if the circle.

The area covered by one of Mr. Rives' rotating sprinkler would be

3.14 × 7² = 3.14 × 49 = 153.86ft²

Therefore, the maximum area of lawn that two sprinklers can cover would be

153.86 × 2 = 307.72 ft²
