Garrett wants to make a circular pond in his yard and put a low fence around the edge. What is the largest area pond Garrett can make if he has 136 feet of fencing?
21.66 square feet
468.98 square feet>>>>i think
1472.61 square feet
14,519.36 square feet

Your answer is correct. The 136 feet will make the circumference of a circle which is 2*pi*R where R is the radius, so you can calculate the radius of the circle by dividing 136 by 2*pi. Next, you can obtain the area of this circle, which will be the same as the area of the pond, by using the formula Area = pi*R^2. Try it out!
oh thanks :3
Are you sure 468.98 is the right answer?
no, your choice is not correct
circumference = 136
2πr = 136
r = 68/π
area = π r^2
= π(68/π)^2 = 1471.86
circumference = 136
2πr = 136
r = 68/π
area = π r^2
= π(68/π)^2 = 1471.86
Mr reiny your math is slightly off you may want to check it
it should be
1472.61 as your final answer
