A rose garden is formed by joining a rectangel and a smeicircle. The rectangel is 35 ft long and 25 ft wide. if the gardner wants to build a fence around the garde, how many feet of fence are required<
Perimeter: 2 * (l+w)
2*(35+25)
2*60
120 feet
Assuming that the semi-circle borders the rectangle's width......the total fencing required is
Three sides of the rectangle + perimeter of a semi-circle with a radius of 35/2 = 17.5 ft
( 35 + 2 * 25) + pi (17.5) =
85 + 17.5 pi ≈
140 ft
