Question

A rotating sprinkler sprays water in a circular pattern for a distance of 15 feet from the sprinkler .Approximately what is the area in square feet of the circle a region that the sprinklers Sprays

Answer 1

The water sprinkled by the sprinkler forms a circular path. The area of this circular region would be determined by applying the formula for finding the area of a circle which is expressed as

Area = pi x radius^2

radius = distance from the sprinkler to the circumference of the circular path. Thus,

radius = 15

pi = 3.14

Area of circular region = 3.14 x 15^2 = 706.5

Area = 707 square feet
