Question

A museum groundskeeper is creating a semicircular statuary garden with a diameter of 36 feet. There will

be a fence around the garden. The fencing costs $8.50 per linear foot. About how much will the fencing
cost altogether? Round to the nearest hundredth. Use 3.14 for it.
The fencing will cost about $|

Answer 1

The fencing would cost a total of $961.33 rounded to the nearest hundredth

Explanation:

Circumference: 2πr (r = 18 or 1/2 diameter)

2 × 3.14 × 18 = 113.097336

113.097336 × $8.50 = $961.327356, which rounds up to $961.33
