A flower garden is shaped like a circle. Its diameter is 30 yd. A ring-shaped path goes around the garden. Its outer edge is a circle with diameter 36 yd.The gardener is going to cover the path with sand. If one bag of sand can cover 6 yd², how many bags of sand does the gardener need? Note that sand comes only by the bag, so the number of bags must be a whole number. (Use the value 3.14 for π.)

We started by finding the area of the two respective circles, then we found the area of the path, after which we estimated the number of sand bags needed to be 51.8 bags

Ans 51.8 bags

Area of Circle

Given data

  • Diameter of flower garden d = 30 yd
  • Diameter of outer edge D = 36 yd
  • No of bags of sand = ??

Area of path = Area of outer edge - area of garden

Area of path = πD^2/4 - πd^2/4

Area of path = 3.142*36^2/4 - 3.142*30^2/4

Area of path = 3.142*1296/4 - 3.142*900/4

Area of path = 4072.032/4 - 2827.8/4

Area of path = 1018.008 - 706.95

Area of path = 311.058 square yd

1 bag of sand will cover 6yd^2

x bags of sand will cover 311.058 yd^2

cross multiply we have

x = 311.058/6

x = 51.843 bags of sand
