Answer:
43.7 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Radius of the semicircular garden is 8.5 ft .
Diameter = 8.5 × 2 = 17 ft
Circumference of the garden = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × π × diameter = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × π × 17 = 26.7 ft (rounded up to the nearest tenth of a foot)
Distance around the gardent = Circumference + diameter = 26.7 ft + 17 ft = 43.7 ft
