Answer 1

Explanation:

There will be a fence around the garden. ... per linear foot. About how much will the fencing costs altogether? Round to the nearest hundreth. Use 3.14 for π ... The straight part of the fence will equal the diameter (d) = 32. The rounded portion will be 1/2 the circumference = (pi)d/2 = (3.14)(16)=50.24.
