The Task was to design an irrigation system,since the football field needed a new one. Then determine the best route for the water pipes The areas of the field the sprinkler waters, the location of sprinklers,and how much of the field the sprinkler waters.The whole field has to be covered and not overwatered. Adobe illustrator was used to create a scale design for the system that the students selected,layers had to be included to represent the different parts of the irrigation system.The cost of the materials for the system also had to be determined. The design process was set up like this, the angle of the sprinklers was 360 degrees.The radius of each sprinkler is 40 feet.The number of sprinklers was determined on how the sprinklers were positioned. How the placement of the sprinklers were determine was the head to head range .How the placement of piping was determined was by finding the best way to link the sprinklers together. …show more content…

To find the area the students had to use the formula a=r2. Then the students multiply 3.14 by the radius 40 feet squared,which additionally gives 5024 ft for the full circles.After that,the students get 5024, it will be divided by 2 which will then provide the answer 2512ft for the half circles. Then 2512ft will be divided by 2 again giving the answer 1256ft for the quarter circles.The cost of each sprinkler is $11,the football field needs 50 sprinklers,The cost of 50 sprinklers would be $550. The total amount of piping needed to reach all of the sprinklers 1960 ft. The amount of pipes that are needed will cost
