Answer:
$6.04\ ft$

Explanation:

Given

The fence has a length of 38 ft i.e. it is the circumference of the circular flower

The circumference of the circle is
$2\pi r$

Insert the values

$\Rightarrow 2\pir=38\\\\\Rightarrow 2* (22)/(7)* r=38\\\\\Rightarrow r=(38* 7)/(2* 22)\\\\\Rightarrow r=(266)/(44)\\\\\Rightarrow r=6.04\ ft$

The largest radius of the garden is
$6.04\ ft$
