Question

Randy's circular garden has a radius of 1.5 feet.He wants to enclose the garden with edging that costs $0.75 per foot. About how much will the edging cost

Answer 1

Answer:Circumference = 2 \pi r

circumference = 2 \pi (1.5)

circumference = 9.42 feet

The circumference is 9.42 feet, so we need to get fencing for 10 feet (assuming the fence comes in feet, i.e. you cant buy half a foot)

1 feet = $.075

10 feet = $0.75 x 10 = $7.50
