Answer:
5024 flowers spaced every three inches are needed to surround the circular garden with a 200 ft radius.
Explanation:
The formula for the circumference (C) of a circle is:
C = 2 * π * r
Given a radius of 200 ft
C = 2 * 3.14 * 200
C = 6.28 * 200
C = 1256 ft
with each flower spaced every 3 inches apart. Convert the spacing to feet (1 ft = 12 inches)
Divide the circumference by the spacing between the flowers:
Number of flowers = C / spacing
Number of flowers = 1256 / (1/4)
Number of flowers = 1256 * 4
Number of flowers = 5024
