Answer

Let r be the radius of the circular garden A.

Circumference of garden A = 2πr

⇒ 2πr = 1.760 km

⇒ 2πr = 1760 m

⇒ 2 x 227\dfrac{22}{7} x r = 1760 m

447\dfrac{44}{7} x r = 1760 m

⇒ r = 7×176044\dfrac{7 \times 1760}{44} m

⇒ r = 7 x 40 m

⇒ r = 280 m

Area of garden A = πr2

= π x (280)2

= 78400π

Let R be the radius of garden B.

It is given that the area of garden B is 25 times the area of garden A.

⇒ πR2 = 25 x πr2

⇒ πR2 = 25 x 78400π

π\cancel{π} R2 = 25 x 78400 π\cancel{π}

⇒ R2 = 25 x 78400

⇒ R2 = 1960000

⇒ R = 1960000\sqrt{1960000}

⇒ R = 1400 m

Circumference of garden B = 2πR

= 2 x 227\dfrac{22}{7} x 1400 m

= 2 x 22 x 200 m

= 8800 m = 8.8 km

Hence, the circumference of garden B is 8.8 km.
