A museum groundskeeper is creating a semicircular statuary garden with a diameter of 25 feet. There will be a fence around the garden. The fencing costs $7.25 per linear foot. About how much will the fencing cost altogether? Round to the nearest hundredth. Use 3.14 for ππ. The fencing will cost about $$

The perimeter of the garden is the circumference of the semicircle plus the diameter: P=12⋅πd+d Substitute d=25ft: P=12⋅(3.14)(25)+(25) P ~ 64.25ft Since the fencing costs $7.25 per foot, the fencing cost altogether is: 64.25ft×$7.25/ft $465.81
