A 32 m blade would create a circle with a radius of 32 m when it makes 1 revolution.

The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle.

Plugging in the radius of 32 m, we get:

A = π(32)^2
A = π(1024)
A = 3209.7 m^2

Therefore, the total area covered by the blade when the turbine makes 1 revolution is approximately 3209.7 square meters.
