Question 1 • *CR CCSS Math 2 S2 [M2960OX]

An individual head of a sprinkler system covers a circular area of grass with a radius of 25 feet. The yard has 3 sprinkler heads that each cover a circular area with no overlap. What is the approximate total area that will be watered?

Answer
A
1963.5 ft
B
1963.5 ft²
C
5890.5 ft
D
5890.5 ft²

Explanation

The area of one circular sprinkler zone is πr² = π(25)² ≈ 1,963.5 square feet. Since the 3 zones do not overlap, multiply by 3: 3 × 1,963.5 ≈ 5,890.5 square feet, so the total is 5,890.5 ft².
