    The flower bed has the shape of a cylinder with a 20-ft diameter and a 6-inch height.

    6 in. = 0.5 ft

    Volume of cylinder = pi * r^2 * h

    diameter = 20 ft

    radius = 10 ft

    V = 3.14 * (10 ft) ^2 * 0.5 ft

    V = 157 ft^3

    1885 ft^3 is incorrect because the 6-in. depth, which is the height of the cylinder, was not converted to ft.
