Slide 18 Problem 2 A pivot with radius of 1295 ft has an end gun with the effective radius of 85 ft to water the corners. The end gun operates 50% of the time. Find the irrigated area? Slide 19 Problem 3 A part circle with radius of 1350 ft irrigates all but 30 degrees of the circle. What is the irrigated area? Slide 20
