Check the picture below, so, that'd be the square inscribed in the circle.
so... hmm the diagonals for the square are the diameter of the circle, and keep in mind that the radius of a circle is half the diameter, so let's find the diameter.

that means the radius r = 5.
now, what's the center? well, the Midpoint of the diagonals, is really the center of the circle, let's check,
so, now we know the center coordinates and the radius, let's plug them in,

Step-by-step explanation:
Find the diagram to the question attached.
From the diagram, we are given the following dimension for one of the beds;
Length = 16cm
Width = 8cm
If the scale from his drawing to the actual garden is 2 cm for every 1 ft, then on converting to feet;
2cm = 1ft
16cm = x fr
cross multiply
2x = 16
x = 8ft
Hence 16cm = 8ft (based on the scale)
Similarly:
2cm = 1ft
8cm = x fr
cross multiply
2x = 8
x = 4ft
Area of the garden bed (in feet) = Length * Width
Area of the garden bed = 8ft * 4ft
Area of the garden bed = 32ft²
Hence the actual area of one of the garden beds is 32ft². We need to find 2 things fir us to get the required answer. First is the length of the bed in feet and the second is the width of the bed in feet.
