Question

How many flowers, spaced every 6 in are needed to surround a circular garden with a 150 ft radius.Use 3.14 for pie

Answer 1

Answer:

1884 flowers

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius of the garden=150 ft

To determine the number of flowers needed to surround the circular garden, we first find the perimeter.

$\text{Perimeter of a circle=}2\pi r\\\text{Perimeter of the garden=}2X3.14X150=942 Feet$

Since the flowers are spaced every 6 in, we need to convert from inch to feet because we cannot divide different units.

Now, 12 Inch =1 Feet

Therefore, 6 Inch =0.5 feet

To determine the number of flowers, we simply divide the perimeter by 0.5 ft.

Number of flowers=942/0.5

=1884 flowers
