Asked by jah

landscape is designing a display of flowers for an area in a public park. The flower seeds will be planted at points lie on a circle that has a diameter of 8 feet. The point where seed is planted must be at least 2 feet away from seeds on the either side of it.

A. What is the maximum number o flower seeds that can be planted using design?

B. After planting the flower seeds, the landscaper has 20 seed left over. The landscaper wants to plant all, the remaining seeds in another circle so that the seeds are 2 feet apart. To the nearest tenth of a foot. What is the diameter o the smallest circle that the landscaper can use to plant all of the remaining seeds.

I started you with Part A in your last post. Now -- draw a picture to figure out how many seeds are needed around that circle.

After you've found the answer to Part A, please post it, and I'll help you from there.

I posted again because I did not understand how to calculate.

(A): the circle has a circumference of 8π feet. If the seeds are at least 2 ft apart, then at most 8π/2 = 4π ≈ 12 seeds may be planted.

Whose question is this -- kudu's or jah's?

What part of this don't you understand?

C = pi * d
C = 3.14 * 8
C = 25.12 feet

What part of this don't you understand? Part B
Answered by Ms. Sue
How many seeds did the gardner have left over from Part A?

Part B. Find the circumference. Divide by 20.

C = pi * d
Answered by kudu
4pi/20

is that right?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Where did you get 4?
Answered by kudu
8 diameter divide by2 apart
