A museum groundskeeper is creating a semicircular statuary garden with a diameter of 32 feet. There will be a fence around the garden. The fencing costs $8.75 per linear foot. About how much will the fencing cost altogether? Round to the nearest hundredth. Use 3.14 for π.

Step-by-step explanation:

There will be a fence around the garden ... per linear foot. About how much will the fencing costs altogether? Round to the nearest hundreth. Use 3.14 for π ... The straight part of the fence will equal the diameter (d) = 32. The rounded portion will be 1/2 the circumference = (pi) d/2 = (3.14) (16) = 50.24.
