Question

Laci is filling a circular kiddie play pit with balls. The play pit has a radius of 7ft and each bag of balls covers 15 square feet. How many bags would she need to buy to have enough to cover the play pit

Answer 1

10.21

this is the correct answer because 10.21 is right

Answer 2

10.26 bags

Explanation:

Area of circle :

A = πr²

radius, r = 7ft

A = π * 7²

A = π * 49

A = 153.93804 ft²

Since a bag covers 15 ft² ;

Number of bags needed will be :

Area / number of square feet per bag

153.93804 ft² / 15 ft²

= 10.262536 bags

= 10.26 bags
