Answer:
Out of 240,000 feet² of the field 62,800 feet² was being watered.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a figure with 32 circles and diameter of each circle is 50 feet. We have to find how much area is being watered. Assuming that each circle represents the Area of the field which is being watered.
We can find the area of one circle and multiply that by 32 to find the area of all 32 circles. This will give us the area of the field that is being watered.
Since, radius is half of the diameter, the radius of each circle will be r = 25 feet.
Area of a circle is calculated as:
Area = πr²
Substituting the value of r = 25 and π = 3.14, we get:
Area of one circle = 3.14 x (25)² = 1962.5 feet²
Since area of 1 circle is 1962.5 feet² , area of 32 circles will be = 32 x 1962.5 = 62,800 feet²
The field is rectangular in shape with length = 600 feet and width = 400 feet.
Area of a rectangle is the product of its length and width. So area of the entire field will be:
Area of field = 600 x 400 = 240,000 feet²
This means, out of 240,000 feet² of the field 62,800 feet² was being watered.
