Chapter 10 - Geometry - 10.4 Area and Circumference - Exercise Set 10.4 - Page 649: 60

Answer

The statement does not make sense.

Work Step by Step

For calculating the length of the fencing required for a garden that is circular in shape, we will have to find the circumference of that garden. This is because the fencing is done on the boundary of the garden and not the area. So, for a circular garden, the circumference would be calculated by the following formula: \[C=2\pi r\], where r is the radius of the garden. So, the above statement doesn’t make sense.
