Answer 1

To find the area of a circle, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Area} = \pi r^2 \]

where \( r \) is the radius and \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14.

Given the radius \( r = 59 \) inches, we can calculate the area as follows:

1. Square the radius:
\[ r^2 = 59^2 = 3481 \]

2. Multiply by \( \pi \):
\[ \text{Area} = 3.14 \times 3481 \]

Now, calculate the area:
\[ \text{Area} = 3.14 \times 3481 = 10,973.34 \, \text{in}^2 \]

Rounding to the nearest hundredths place gives us:

**10,973.34 in²**.

However, it seems like this answer does not match the options you provided. If there's a rounding discrepancy, the closest given option is:

**10,930.34 in²**.

Please verify the calculations or the options again.
