Area and Perimeter

Question 8 • CCS District-ACT WorkKeys Remediation

You work in a nursery, and you are recommending mulch to a customer. To determine the number of bags of mulch the customer should buy, you need to determine the area of the customer’s garden. The customer has a circular garden 12 feet in diameter. What is the approximate area of the garden in square feet?

Answer
A
18.84
B
37.68
C
75.36
D
113.04
E
452.16

Explanation

The garden’s radius is half its 12-foot diameter, so the radius is 6 feet. Using the circle area formula, A = πr² ≈ 3.14 × 6² = 113.04 square feet, so the approximate area is 113.04 square feet.
