Hamid wants to build a straight interlocking brick pathway 0.5 m wide running across his circular garden, passing through its centre. The approximate area of the garden measures 50.24 m2. Interlocking bricks cost $13.00/m2. How much will it cost Hamid to buy brick for the pathway?
A = r2
50.24 = r2
50.24 ÷ 3.14 = 3.14 ÷ 3.14 r2
16 = r2
4 ´ 4 = 16. Therefore, the radius is 4 m.
r = 4 m
d = 8 m
Area of Pathway = l w
A = 8 0.5
A = 4
Cost of brick = 4 $13.00 = $52.00
The brick will cost $52.
