<h3>Scott needs to buy 50.24 feet of fencing</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Scott wants to buy fencing to place around a circular rock garden

The diameter of the circle is 16 feet

The amount of fencing Scott will need to buy is equal to the circumference of circular garden

<em><u>The circumference of circle is given as:</u></em>

$C = \pi d$

Where, "d" is the circumference of circle

From given,

d = 16 feet

Therefore,

$C = 3.14 \times 16\\\\C = 50.24$

Thus, Scott needs to buy 50.24 feet of fencing
