To calculate the cost of the fence, we have to find the length of the semi-circle. The cost of fencing the garden would be $328.52 approximately

Circumference of a Circle

To find the length of the fence, we have to calculate the circumference of the semi-circle and divide it by 2

[tex]C = 2\pi r\\l = \frac{c}{2} \\l = \pi r[/tex]

Data;

  • diameter = 27ft
  • r = diameter/2 = 13.5ft
  • π = 3.14

Let's substitute the values and calculate the length of the fence.

[tex]l = \pi r\\l = 3.14 * 13.5\\l = 42.39ft[/tex]

The length of the fence is equal to 42.39ft

The cost of fencing would be

[tex]42.39 * 7.75 = $328.5225[/tex]

The cost of fencing the garden would be $328.52 approximately
