Question 1033324: A garden is to be planted on a circular area just surrounded by a square that is 10 feet wide. What percentage of the square will be taken up by the circular garden? Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! We compare the area of a circle of radius 5 to the area of a square of side 10.
Area of the circle = (pi)*5^2 = 78.54 sq ft
Area of the square = 10^2 = 100 sq ft
Thus 78.54/100 = 78.54% of the square's area will be covered by the circle.
