he Garcia family bought 400 yards of fencing to enclose a circular wildflower garden. They will use all of the fencing. a. What is the diameter of the garden? b. Use your answer to part a to find the area enclosed by the fence?

9514 1404 393
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The diameter can be found from the circumference using the relation ...
C = πd
d = C/π = (400 yd)/π ≈ 127.32 yd . . . . diameter
The area is ...
A = πr²
where the radius (r) is half the diameter.
A = π(63.662 yd)² ≈ 12,732.4 yd² . . . . area
_____
Additional comment
We have used a full-precision value for pi. If you use 3.14, your answers will be different. Your diameter will be about 127.4 yards; your area about 12,738.9 yd².
