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 59 inches and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):
\[ \text{Area} = 3.14 \times (59)^2 \]
First, calculate \( (59)^2 \):
\[ (59)^2 = 3481 \]
Now substitute back into the area formula:
\[ \text{Area} = 3.14 \times 3481 \]
Calculating that gives:
\[ \text{Area} \approx 10925.94 \text{ in}^2 \]
Rounding to the nearest hundredths place, the area of the circle is approximately \( 10,925.94 \) in².
Thus, the closest answer choice is:
10,930.34 in.².
