Chapter 10 - Geometry - 10.4 Area and Circumference - Exercise Set 10.4 - Page 649: 47

Answer

The fencing required to enclose the circular garden of radius\[20\text{m}\] is\[125.7\text{m}\].

Work Step by Step

For the computation of the length of fencing required, we need to find the circumference of the circular region. Compute the circumference of the region as follows: \[\begin{align} & C=2\pi r \\ & =40\pi \text{ m} \\ & \approx 125.7\text{ m} \end{align}\] Hence, the fencing required to enclose the circular garden of radius\[20\text{m}\] is\[125.7\text{m}\].
