A sprinkler rotates 360° to water a circular region. If the total area watered is approximately 2,200yd2, determine the radius of the region (the radius is length of the stream of water). Round the answer to the nearest yard.

Radius = 26 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete rotation of the sprinkler makes a circle of radius R (R is the length of the stream of water).

Remember that the area of a circle of radius R is:

A = pi*R^2

where pi = 3.14

In this case, we know that the area is equal to 2,200 yd^2

Then:

A = 2,200 yd^2 = 3.14*R^2

Solving this equation we can find the value R.

(2,200 yd^2)/3.14 = R^2

√( (2,200 yd^2)/3.14) = R  = 26.47 yards.

We want to round it to the nearest yard, then we need to look at the first digit after the decimal point. It is smaller than 5, then we round down, we get:

Radius = 26 yards.

you never say the total so we cant find the percentage used for petrol
