   (i) Find the length of the curved edge of the garden.
   (ii) Fencing is put along the whole boundary of the garden (the curved edge and the two straight edges) at 12 EUR per metre. Find the cost.
   (iii) Find the area of the garden.

   [6 marks]

   (b)

   (i) Find the area of the flower bed.
   (ii) Find the area of the path.
   (iii) Find the percentage of the garden that is path.
