Question

This is the architectural plan for a fenced-in garden.
The shaded region represents an area for trees.
How long is the fence around the edge of the garden?
(Do not include the edge around the tree region.)

Answer 1

The fence around the edge of the garden is 17.86 m long.

The fence around the edge of the garden is the perimeter of the quarter circle. That is the length of the arc plus the two radii.

Since the radius is 5 units long, its length r = 5 m.

The length of the arc L = rθ where r = radius of quarter circle = 5 m and θ = angle subtended by the arc in radians = π/2 (90°)

So, the length of the fence L' = L + r + r

L' = L + 2r

L' = rθ + 2r

L' = r(θ + 2)

Substituting the values of the varaibles into the equation, we have

L' = r(θ + 2)

L' = 5 m(π/2 + 2)

L' = 5 m(1.571 + 2)

L' = 5 m × 3.571

L' = 17.855 m

L' ≅ 17.86 m

So, the fence around the edge of the garden is 17.86 m long.
