The distance from the edge of the fountain to the centre is approximately 23.87 inches.

The water fountain forms a circle. The distance around the water fountain is the circumference of the circle formed.

Therefore,

circumference = 2πr

150 = 2πr

The distance from the edge of the fountain to the centre is the radius of the circle formed. Therefore,

75 = πr

r = 75 / 3.14159

r = 23.8732616287

r = 23.87 inches

The distance from the edge of the fountain to the centre is approximately 23.87 inches.
