A semicircular flower bed has radius 35 m. Brick edging is laid along its COMPLETE boundary — the curved arc as well as the straight edge. What total length of edging is needed? Use π = (answer in m).

  • A180
  • B110
  • C220
  • D145

Step-by-Step Solution

Curved arc = π m. The straight edge is the diameter = m. Total = 110 + 70 = 180 m. Leaving out the straight edge gives 110 m; adding only the radius gives 145 m; 220 m is the whole circle.
Answer: A) 180

Key idea: Circumference of a circle

**Circumference = π × × π × .**

Use π = when the radius is a multiple of 7 (cleaner arithmetic). Use π ≈ 3.14 otherwise (or leave the answer in terms of π).

Example cm, π = cm.

Example cm, π ≈ 3.14): ≈ cm.
