Billy is creating a circular garden divided into 8 equal sections. The diameter of the garden is 12 feet. what is the area, in square feet, of one section of the garden?

Area=πr^2

find the area then divide by 8

we know that diameter=2radius or diameter/2=radius so

12=diameter

12/2=radius=6

subsitute

area=π (6) ^2

area=36π

divide 36π by 8

36π/8=18π/4=9π/2π=4.5π

area of one section is 4.5π square feet or if we aprox pito 3.14159 then we get

4.5 (3.14159) = area=14.1372 square feet or 14.14 square feet
