Question

Sarah wants to fence her garden, as shown below. Determine how much fencing to the nearst foot that

Sarah needs to purchase.
28 ft
15 ft

Answer 1

431.775 ft

Explanation:

So basically we should first find the area of the rectangles which is 28 ft * 15 ft, which you get 420. Next for the semicircle, the diameter is 15 but we need the radius so you divide that by 2 to get 7.5 as the radius. Then u multiply 7.5 * π, or 3.14 to get 23.55. But since its a semicircle, or half a circle we divide 23.55 by 2 which is 11.775. Then we just add the results which is 420 ft and 11.755 ft to get a total area of 431.775 ft.
