The shape of the barrier is a circle with a diameter of 5 feet. The correct option is the last option - A circle with a diameter of 5 feet
<h3>Determining shape</h3>
From the question, we are to determine the statement that describes the shape of the barrier
From the given information,
The barrier is 2.5 feet from the tomato plant in <u>every direction</u>.
This can be likened to a circle that has a radius of 2.5 feet.
Recall: Radius of a circle is the distance from the <u>center</u> of the circle to <u>any point</u> on it's circumference
If radius of a circle is 2.5 feet, the diameter will be 2 × 2.5 feet = 5 feet
Hence, the shape of the barrier is a circle with a diameter of 5 feet. The correct option is the last option- A circle with a diameter of 5 feet
