Answer:

6.048 ft and any other option less than that.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter

Perimeter is the sum of all the side lengths of a shape. In cases like a circle, the perimeter is equal to its circumference (2πr).

Solving the Problem

If we're told that a fence, which acts as a circumference for the round garden, can have a maximum length of 38 ft, then we can equate this to the circumference equation and solve for r.

                                                [tex]38 = 2 \pi r[/tex]

                                          [tex]\dfrac{38}{2\pi}=r=6.048 \: ft[/tex]

So, the garden can have a radius of 6.048 feet or less.
