Question

Billy is constructing a garden divided into 8 equal sections. The diameter of the garden is 12 feet. What is the area, in square feet, of one section of the garden?

Answer 1

If the diameter of the garden is 12 ft, then the radius is 6 ft.

The area is then π(6 ft)^2, or 36 ft^2.

Then the area of one of the 8 equal sections of the garden is 36/8 ft^2, or 9/2 ft^2, or 4.5 ft^2.
