Question

decide whether the circumference of the circle or the area of the circle is most useful for finding a solution. a lawn sprinkler is able to water a circle with a radius of 20 feet. how much of the lawn will the lawn sp finding the is the most useful for finding a solution to this problem. circumference area

Explanation:

The problem is about finding how much of the lawn a sprinkler (which waters in a circular area) can cover. The area of a circle formula \(A=\pi r^{2}\) (where \(r\) is the radius) gives the amount of space (lawn area) within the circle. The circumference formula \(C = 2\pi r\) gives the distance around the circle. Since we want to know the space covered (not the boundary length), the area is relevant.

Answer:

area
