Edging is perimeter. This is 2∏r with r being the radius of the circular garden. So we want to figure out what r is.
They give you the area of the garden. Area is ∏r² = 75 sq ft
∏r² = 75 sq ft
Solve for r
r² = 75/∏
r = √(75/∏)
So the edging required is 2∏r = 2∏ √(75/∏)
Use your calculator now and get that the perimeter (amount of edging) needed is, which is ~31 feet.

You know the area, you need the edge, which means the circumference or perimeter of the circle.
Area formula is:
A = pi(r^2)
75 = pi(r^2)
Solve for r^2 by dividing each side by pi (3.14) and then take the square root of both sides.
75/pi = r^2
4.89 = r
Next, use the formula for circumference: C = 2rpi
C = 2(4.89) (3.14)
C = 30.71 would be the edge required to enclose the circular garden.
NOTE: 30.71 feet is ABOUT 31 feet when rounded off to the nearest unit or ones place. Is this clear?

This is obviously a circular garden. The area of a circle is given by the formula
A = pi(r^2). But A = 75, so
75 = pi(r^2), and
(75/pi) = r^2, meaning
r = sqrt (75/pi) = sqrt(75) / sqrt(pi) = 5sqrt(3) / sqrt(pi)
The circumference is what we are looking for to determine the edging. Remember that the circumference of a circle is equal to
C = 2pi(r), so
C = 2pi (5sqrt(3) / sqrt(pi))
This simplifies into
C = 10 sqrt(3pi)
I'll leave the "in between" steps for you to solve.

First find the radius of the garden from the Area given using the formula for the area of a circle. A = pi*r^2. Then find the circumference from the radius using C = pi*2*r.

A=75ft^2=Ïr^2
r^2=75/Ï=23.87ft^2
r=4.89ft
c=2Ïr=30.7 ft

Area of a circle is pi*r^2 where r = radius
The circumference of that circle is 2*pi*r
if pi*r^2 = 75, then r = sqrt(75/pi)
So the circumference is 2 * pi * r
= 2 * pi * (sqrt(75/pi))
(or about 30.70 feet).

A=Ïr^2
Here,
75 = Ïr^2
r^2=75/Ï=23.87
r= SQRT (23.87) = 4.89ft
c=2Ïr=30.7 ft

r=sqrt(A/pi)
C=2pi(r) 2(pi)sqrt(75/pi)
little more than 30 feet.

area=pir^2
75=22/7*r*r
(75*7)/22=r*r
525/22=r*r
23.86=r*r
r=4.89
c=2pir
2*(22/7)*4.89
9.78*(22/7)=30.7
