 logic would dictate your wasting a lot of water, but I woudl go for the straightforward answer of 9ft on all sides. This seems like a trick question.

also...its not worded very well

it doesn't say that the springer is in the exact center

I think it would be the best idea to assume that it is

if they are asking for area that would make sense to find the area of the sprinkler water minus the area of the square lawn, but yeah seems kind of open ended there.
