Answer:

He will cover 2,827.433 feet² area of the park with plant food.

Explanation:

The diameter of the garden is 60 feet and the radius will be 60 feet/2 = 30 feet.

diameter= 60 feet

radius = diameter/ 2= 60/2= 30 feet

The area of the circle can be found by the formula πr²

Area= πr²=π(30)²

Area = 900π= 2,827.433 feet²

He will cover 2,827.433 feet² area of the park with plant food.
