Square Garden

Question

A square garden has an area of 784 square feet. If a sprinkler (with a circular pattern) is placed in the center of the garden, what is the minimum radius of spray the sprinkler would need in order to water all of the garden?

Answer 1

The side of the square is 28 ft. (√784)

The diagonal of the square is 28√2 ft. (s√2)

The radius of the circle needs to be 14√2 ft. (d/2)
