Answer:

1256.64 square feet

Explanation:

In this situation, 20 feet is the radius of the circle that is sprayed.

Use the area formula, A =
$\pi$ r²

Plug in 20 as the radius and solve:

A =
$\pi$ r²

A =
$\pi$ (20)²

A = 400
$\pi$

This is approximately equivalent to 1256.64

So, the approximate area watered by the sprinkler is 1256.64 square feet
