The square garden has area = 144 ft^2. That means that the length of each side is 12 ft.
\n" ); document.write( "The diameter of the circular spray pattern must be equal to the diagonal of the square to cover the whole garden.
\n" ); document.write( "The diagonal, d = sqrt(12^2+12^2) = \"12%2Asqrt%282%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "So the radius = \"6%2Asqrt%282%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
