A farmer has a fence that encloses a square plot with an area of 64 square meters. If the farmer uses this fence to enclose a circular flower garden, what will the area of the garden be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help?

OpenStudy (radar):

Each side would be 8 meters, first calculate the perimeter.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah 8X8=64

OpenStudy (radar):

After that find the radius of a circle whose circumference would equal that square's perimeter.

OpenStudy (radar):

After obtaining radius, calculate the area of that circle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

radius is 5.09 Perimeter is 32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would i do 5.09X3.14?

OpenStudy (radar):

You got it, all you have to do is calculate the area using that value of radius.

OpenStudy (radar):

Don't forget, you must square the radius.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25.9?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25.9X3.14?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8.25?

OpenStudy (radar):

8.25 is not a winner.

OpenStudy (radar):

25.9 * 3.14 = ???
