Question

The rectangular part of the field shown below is 160 yd long and the diameter of each semicircle 12 yd. How much will it cost to fertilize the field at 0.25 per square yard? Use π = 3.14 and round to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

It will cost $508.26 to fertilize the field having the length 160 yards and the diameter of the semicircles is 12 yards.

Given that the field is 160 yards long and the diameter is 12 yards and charge of 1 square yard of fertilizing is $0.25.

We are required to find the total cost of fertilizing the field.

The total cost of fertilizing the field will be the product of the cost of 1 square yards and the area of the field.

When we will observe the field carefully then we will say that the diameter of the semi circle is equal to the breadth of the rectangle. There are two semicircles so we have to just find the area of 1 circle and the area of 1 rectangle.

Area of the field=Area of rectangle+Area of circle

=length* breadth+π$r^{2}$

=160*12+3.14*$6^{2}$

=1920+3.14*36

=1920+113.04

=2033.04 $yards^{2}$

Cost of fertilzing the field=2033.04*0.25

=$508.26

Hence It will cost $508.26 to fertilize the field having the length 160 yards and the diameter of the semicircles is 12 yards.
