Hi NataG

This question is an integrated reasoning question, so there will be a calculator to help you.
but to make the calculations more simple, you can tackle it this way:

if the circumference is 5.5 m, what is the surface area?
circumference = \(5.5 = 2пr\)
area = \(4пr^2 = 2пr*2r = 2пr*\frac{2пr}{п} = 5.5*\frac{5.5}{3.14} = 9.63\)
cost = \(9.63*92= 886\approx{900}\)

and the same trick with 7.85, and you will get the result \(1805\approx{1800}\) in a faster way.

I wish it would help.
