Question

Kendrick is planting a circular flower garden with a low fence around the border. He has 38 feet of fence. What is the radius of the largest garden he can make?

Answer 1

Answer: $6.04\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The fence has a length of 38 ft i.e. it is the circumference of the circular flower

The circumference of the circle is $2\pi r$

Insert the values

$\Rightarrow 2\pir=38\\\\\Rightarrow 2\times \dfrac{22}{7}\times r=38\\\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{38\times 7}{2\times 22}\\\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{266}{44}\\\\\Rightarrow r=6.04\ ft$

The largest radius of the garden is  $6.04\ ft$
