The smallest number bags required to cover the pitch is approximately 27 bags
Data given;
- diameter = 10 feet,
- radius = diameter / 2 = 10/2
- weight of the bag = 5 pounds
- area of the bag = 3 ft^2
To solve this question, we have to find the area of the pitch.
Area of Circle
[tex]A = \pi r^2\\A = \pi (5)^2\\A = 78.5ft^2[/tex]
The area of the pitch is 78.5ft^2.
To determine the smallest number of bags required to cover the pitch, we divide the area by 3
[tex]number of bags = \frac{78.5}{3}\\n =26.16[/tex]
The smallest numbers of bags required to cover the pitch is approximately 27 bags.
