Answered by Ms. Sue
Which part of these instructions don't you understand?

1. Find the area of the reservoir.
Area = pi * r^2

2. Find the area of the garden.
A = pi * r^2

3. Subtract the area of the reservoir from the area of the garden.

Answered by charolette
whats that small triangle mean. r^2
Answered by Ms. Sue
^ means squared.

Area = pi times radius squared

Answered by charolette
is the answer 417.62
Answered by Ms. Sue
I had a much different answer.

Did you use the radius of each circle, not the diameter?

Did you use 72 inches as the radius of the garden?

Answered by charolette
i did this i got resivoir 530.66 minus garden 113.04 and then i got 417.62
