A sprinkler has a range of 11m and rotates with a circular motion. If the sprinkler covers the entire circular area, how many square meters does it cover?
Area (of a circle) = pi*R^2
how many square meters though does it cover?
Just perform the indicated calculation.
To determine the area covered by the sprinkler, we need to calculate the area of the circle it creates.
The sprinkler's range of 11m refers to the radius of the circle it covers.
First, let's calculate the area of the circle using the formula for the area of a circle: A = πr², where π is approximately 3.14159 and r is the radius.
Substituting the radius of 11m into the formula:
A = 3.14159 × (11m)²
A = 3.14159 × 121m²
A ≈ 380.13m²
Therefore, the sprinkler covers approximately 380.13 square meters in total.
