given;\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "diameter of the fountain: \"d=5ft\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "flagstone walkway is \"18in\" wide\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "convert
\n" ); document.write( " \"18in\" to ft: \"18in=%2818%2F12%29ft=1.5ft\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "to find out how much fence you need, you need a perimeter of circle made from fountain base and flagstone walkway together\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since a radius of that circle is equal to radius of fountain base plus \"18in\", first find radius of fountain base:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "given diameter of the fountain \"d=5ft\"; so, radius is \"r=5ft%2F2=2.5ft\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then, radius of fountain base and flagstone walkway together is \"r%5B1%5D=2.5ft%2B1.5ft=4ft\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now find perimeter of that circle:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"P=2r%5B1%5Dpi\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"P=2%2A4ft%2A3.14\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"P=25.12ft\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so,\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1. you need \"25.12ft\" fencing\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2. if fencing cost $\"4.00\" per yard, then we need to convert ft to yd\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \"25.12ft=8.3733yd\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then cost is $\"8.3733+%2A4.00\" => $\"33.49\"\r
