Question

A gardener makes a new circular flower bed. The bed is fourteen feet in diameter. Calculate the circumference and the area of the circular flower bed.

Answer 1

Answer:

The circumference is:

$C = 43.98\ ft$

The area is:

$A=153.94\ ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is calculated using the following formula

$C = \pi d$

Where C is the circumference and d is the diameter of the circle.

In this case we know that

$d = 14\ ft$

Therefore the circumference is:

$C = \pi *14$

$C = 43.98\ ft$

The area of a circle is calculated using the following formula

$A=\pi(\frac{d}{2})^2$

Where d is the diameter of the circle.

Then

$A=\pi(\frac{14}{2})^2$

$A=\pi(7)^2$

$A=49\pi$

$A=153.94\ ft^2$
