Answer 1

Ara=pir^2
plantingarea=gardenarea-birdbath
leave in terms of pi first

gardenradius=4
gardenarea=pi4^2=pi16=16pi

birdbathradius=1
birdbatharea=pi1^1=1pi=pi

plantingarea=garden-birdbath=16pi-pi=15pi

aproxpi=3.14
3.14*15=47.2 ft^2 for planting

Answer 2

47.2 ft^2 for planting anything you want
