- Simplify:

If the diameter of the garden is 12 ft, then the radius is 6 ft.
The area is then π(6 ft)^2, or 36 ft^2.
Then the area of one of the 8 equal sections of the garden is 36/8 ft^2, or 9/2 ft^2, or 4.5 ft^2.
There are about 900 ways that it can be arranged
6:9, if you need more just simply find common ratios or simplify.
