We placed the sprinklers depending on the radius of the circle. We started off at the corner of the field and counted how many feet we wanted and placed that sprinkler there. Keep doing that for the whole field. The placement of the piping was easy to solve. We just had to make sure the pipe met up with the sprinklers and made sure everything was connected. The quarter circle sprinklers that are in the corners of the field that were blue have an area of 1256.63 feet. The half circle…
