You’re hired…Mr. Brown owns a section of land that is ½ mi X ½ mi. He uses this section of land to produce cotton to sell. His land is relatively flat, and so he is interested in using
center-pivot irrigation. He wants to use as much of his land as
possible to grow cotton.

He has hired you to answer the following:
What total length of trusses does he need to purchase?
What is the circumference of the irrigated area?
What is the diameter of the irrigated area?
Draw a sketch of the land showing the irrigation circle. Label all known mathematical facts.

In ConclusionWrite a three- to five-sentence paragraph
providing your answers to Mr. Brown. Include the cost for the trusses. In addition, answer the following questions in your paragraph:
—What is the area of irrigation?—How much of Mr. Brown’s land is NOT
being irrigated?—What percent of Mr. Brown’s land is being
irrigated by center-pivot irrigation?
