Question

A city park has a large circular garden with a path around it. The diameter of the garden is 60 feet. Jason works for the City Park Department. He needs to spread plant food all over the garden. What is the area of the park he will cover with plant food?

Answer 1

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.
