24. At the Magic Garden, a rose garden is being designed as shown. The outer figure is a square with side length of 116 feet.
a. What is the diameter of one circle? Explain how you find the diameter.
b. The roses are to be planted in the four circles. The rest of the space will be covered by wood chips. What is the area of the surface that will be covered by wood chips? Explain how you find this area.
(There is a picture, it is simple so I will explain it to you, It is a square with 4 circles in it. They cover most of the square touching eachother and the wall surrounding.)

Check out this video for a real example of a North Texas spring garden using the square foot gardening method.
John shows the melon bed fully planted out and the bare trellis that will support all the vining plants one day. This was taken right after planting. PVC 1/2″ pipe construction and nylon trellis material was used.
