Question 740162: MY QUESTION IS:
JUST OUTSIDE THE PICNIC SHELTER IS A FOUNTAIN. THE BASE OF THE FOUNTAIN IS CIRCULAR WITH A DIAMETER OF 5 FEET. AROUND THE FOUNTAIN IS A FLAGSTONE WALKWAY WHICH IS 18 INCHES WIDE. ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE WALKWAY, YOU NEED TO INSERT SMALL FENCE.
1) HOW MUCH FENCING DO YOU NEED?
2) IF FENCING COSTS $4 PER YARD, HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?

given;
diameter of the fountain:
flagstone walkway is wide
convert
to ft:
to find out how much fence you need, you need a perimeter of circle made from fountain base and flagstone walkway together
since a radius of that circle is equal to radius of fountain base plus , first find radius of fountain base:
given diameter of the fountain ; so, radius is
then, radius of fountain base and flagstone walkway together is
now find perimeter of that circle:
so,
1. you need fencing
2. if fencing cost $ per yard, then we need to convert ft to yd
then cost is $ => $
