This solution to this problem is predicated on the fact that the circumference is just:
. A straight line going through the center of the garden would actually be the diameter, which is well known to be two times the radius of the circle, so we can say that the circumference is just:

So, solving for both the radius and the diameter gives us:

So, the length of thes traight path that goes through the center of the guardain is just
, and we can use the radius for the next part of the problem.
The area of a circle is
, which means we can just plug in the radius and find our area:

So, we have found our area(
) and the problem is done.
Since we know one root, which is -3, we can use synthetic division to find (x+3) would need to be multiplied by to get the original polynomial. Then, we factor the quadratic to find the other two factors, which are 1/2 and -2
by solving the first equation you'll get x= -24/13
if you solve the second option (B) then you'll the same result i.e x=-24/13
so option C is correct
Answer:
(x ÷ 8) + 23 – 4 = 36
x = 136
