The spray from a lawn sprinkler makes a circle 40 feel in radius. What are the approximate diameter, circumference, and area of the circle of lawn watered

Our first step is to figure out what formulas are needed for diameter, circumference, and area of a circle.

Diameter is simply twice the size of the radius so:

2 * radius = 2 * 40 feet = 80 ft.

Circumference = 2 * pi * radius = 80 ft * pi

If we say that pi = 3.14, then:

circumference = 251.2 ft.

Area = pi * radius^2 = pi * 1600 ft^2

Once again, if we assert pi = 3.14, then:

area = 3.14 * 1600 ft^2 = 5024 ft^2.
