Answer:

radius = 9.77 yards

Explanation:

Since the pool is circular

Area of a circle = πr²

where

r is the radius

From the question

Area = 300 square yards

To find the radius substitute the value of the area into the above formula and solve for the radius

That's

300 = πr²

Divide both sides by π

We have


{r}^(2) = (300)/(\pi)

Find the square root of both sides

That's


r = \sqrt{ (300)/(\pi) }

r = 9.7720502

We have the final answer as

radius = 9.77 yards

Hope this helps you
