Q:

a sprinkler that sprays water in a circular area can be adjusted to spray up to 30 feet. turning the radius-reduction screw on the top of the nozzle lets people the radius by up to 25 percent. to the nearest tenth, what is the maximum area of lawn that can be watered by the sprinkler if the radius-reduction is used at full capacity.

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:1590.4 square ftStep-by-step explanation:r=30 so you need to multiply that by 25% (30*.25=7.5) 30-7.5=22.5A= pi(r)^2A=pi*(22.5)^2A=506.25piA=1590.43 or 1590.4 (to the nearest tenth)
