To find the circumference of the circular garden, we use the formula:
C = 2πr
where r is the radius of the garden. Plugging in r = 20 feet, we get:
C = 2π(20) = 40π feet
Now we can divide the circumference of the garden by the spacing between the flowers to find the number of flowers needed:
40π feet / 6 inches = (40π * 12) flowers = 481 flowers
Therefore, 481 flowers spaced every 6 inches are needed to surround the circular garden with a 20-foot radius.
How many flowers, spaced every 6 inches, are needed to surround a circular garden with a 20
-foot
radius?
