Geometry/math problem

How much of the field is being watered ?

-It's a rectangle

-it's 92 circles inside

-diameter is d=50ft

area of the rectangle (550ft x350ft=192,500) minus the area of the circle,then divide.

Mark M.

If the diameter of each circle is 50 ft then only 77 can fit in the rectangle.

If the field is 550 ft long and the circle has a 50 ft diameter then only 11 circles fit along the length. If the field is 350 ft wide then only 7 circles can fit along the width. 11 rows of 7 equal 77 not the 96 in the problem.

No there are at most 77 circles in the field. The area of the 77 circles is the area of the rectangle that is watered.

So the area of the rectangle that is watered is 192,500.
