Answer 1

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**.
