  5. So, how does it work? • Building a center-pivot irrigation system • Center-pivot in action!

  6. Vocabulary circumference • – the distance around a circle • – a line that passes through the center of a circle • – the distance from the center of a circle to any point on the edge of that circle (half the diameter) diameter radius

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. In Conclusion • Write 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?
