I really dont know how to do this.

OpenStudy (matlee):

Well kind of im not sure how to get the outer rim area

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

The given image represents a Ring. Area of ring is : \[\pi(R^2 - r^2)\] Where, R = 18 yards r = 14 yards

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

18 times 18 = 324 14 times 14 = 196 324 - 196 = 128 Area of Annulus (Ring): pi*(R^2 - r^2) pi*(18^2 - 14^2) pi*(324-196) pi*128 3.14*128 = 401.92 sq yards

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

Now use unitary methods Given one bag of sand can cover 4 sq yard. So x number of bags can cover 401.92 sq yards. Frame an equation for the above data: Bags Area 1 4 x 401.92 Cross multiply: 4*X = 401.92*1 4x = 401.92 x = 401.92/4 x = 100.48 Approximate value of x is 100.5(rounding off 100.48) But since the question asks us to keep it in whole number the ans must be 100 bags.
