To find the area of a circle, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \pi r^2
\]
where \( r \) is the radius of the circle. Given that the radius \( r \) is 2.1 miles and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):
\[
\text{Area} = 3.14 \times (2.1)^2
\]
First, calculate \( (2.1)^2 \):
\[
(2.1)^2 = 4.41
\]
Now, substitute this value back into the area formula:
\[
\text{Area} = 3.14 \times 4.41
\]
Now multiply:
\[
3.14 \times 4.41 \approx 13.8384
\]
Rounding to the hundredths place, the area of the circle is approximately:
\[
\text{Area} \approx 13.84 \text{ square miles}
\]
So, the estimated area of the circle is **13.84 square miles**.
\[
\text{Area} = \pi r^2
\]
where \( r \) is the radius of the circle. Given that the radius \( r \) is 2.1 miles and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):
\[
\text{Area} = 3.14 \times (2.1)^2
\]
First, calculate \( (2.1)^2 \):
\[
(2.1)^2 = 4.41
\]
Now, substitute this value back into the area formula:
\[
\text{Area} = 3.14 \times 4.41
\]
Now multiply:
\[
3.14 \times 4.41 \approx 13.8384
\]
Rounding to the hundredths place, the area of the circle is approximately:
\[
\text{Area} \approx 13.84 \text{ square miles}
\]
So, the estimated area of the circle is **13.84 square miles**.

2.1 x 2 = 4.2, not 4.41

I apologize for the oversight in the calculation. You are correct that the square of 2.1 should be calculated as follows:
\[
(2.1)^2 = 2.1 \times 2.1 = 4.41
\]
However, the multiplication should be verified for clarity. Here's the correct step-by-step calculation for the area:
1. Calculate \( (2.1)^2 \):
\[
2.1 \times 2.1 = 4.41
\]
2. Now, use \( \pi \approx 3.14 \) to find the area:
\[
\text{Area} = 3.14 \times 4.41
\]
3. Performing the multiplication:
\[
3.14 \times 4.41 = 13.8384
\]
4. Finally, rounding to the hundredths place gives us:
\[
\text{Area} \approx 13.84 \text{ square miles}
\]
Thus, the calculated area of the circle with a radius of 2.1 miles is indeed approximately **13.84 square miles**. Thank you for your patience!

Let’s carefully go through the calculation again to ensure accuracy.
To find the area \(A\) of a circle, we use the formula:
\[
A = \pi r^2
\]
where \(r\) is the radius.
Given:
- \(r = 2.1\) miles
- \(\pi \approx 3.14\)
1. First, calculate \(r^2\):
\[
(2.1)^2 = 2.1 \times 2.1 = 4.41
\]
2. Now, multiply by \(\pi\):
\[
A = 3.14 \times 4.41
\]
3. Performing the multiplication:
- \(3.14 \times 4.41\) can be calculated step-by-step:
\[
3.14 \times 4.41 = 13.8384
\]
Rounding \(13.8384\) to the hundredths place gives \(13.84\), not \(13.19\).
If you are arriving at \(13.188\), please double-check your calculations for the specific products and rounding. The calculations for the area of a circle using the provided values are accurate as displayed.
**Final answer:** The area is approximately **13.84 square miles**.
