Answer 1

The area that the storm will affect is calculated using the formula for the area of a circle: A = πr^2

In this case, the radius of the storm is 7 miles. So, substituting the value of the radius into the formula:

A = 3.14 * 7^2
A = 3.14 * 49
A = 153.86

Therefore, the storm will affect an area of 153.86 square miles. So, the answer is 153.86 square miles.

Thus, the correct answer is 153.86 square miles.
