Some flowers are being planted in a circular flower bed with a 10-foot diameter. If each flower requires 5 square feet of space, about how many flowers can be planted?

What formula do I use to solve this?
Answered by rbowh
Find area of bed.

A = pi * r^2
Answered by Chase
So, A = 3.14 x 10 squared =

??
Answered by rbowh
No. The radius is half the diameter.
Then divide by 5 sq. ft.
Answered by Chase
A= 3.14 x 5 divided by 5 ?

Sorry I am lost.

The diameter is 10 so half is 5.
Then divided by 5 square feet.

Answered by rbowh
Yes.

3.14 * 5^2 = area of circular bed

area of circular bed/5 = number of flowers
