Andy wants to build a circular concrete patio in his backyard and install a jungle gym on top of it. One 80-lb bag of concrete will be enough for 2 square feet. If he wants the diameter of the patio to be 10 ft, how many bags of concrete will he need to purchase?

One 80-lb of concrete is good for 2 sq ft We need to find how many sq ft are in a 10-ft circle.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

What is the formula for the area of a circle?

A=πr2

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct. \(A = \pi r^2\) \(\pi\) means pi and it's just a number. r is the radius which is half of the diameter. Our diameter is 10 ft. What is our radius?
