(a)
To find: An equation representing the farthest points the water can reach.
(a)
Answer to Problem 48E
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Agriculture: One method of irrigating crops is called the center pivot system. This system rotates a sprinkler pipe from the center of the field to be irrigated. Suppose a farmer places one of these units at the center of a square plot of land 2500 feet on each side. With the center of this plot at the origin, the irrigator sends out water far enough to reach a point located at
Calculation:
Equation of the farthest water reaches:
(b)
To find: The area of the land that receives water directly.
(b)

Calculation:
Percent not receiving water
First find the area not receiving water.
Area of Square − Area of circle.
The percent will be:
