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

\[
A = \pi r^2
\]

where \( A \) is the area and \( r \) is the radius of the circle.

In your case, the radius is given as 2.5 ft. To calculate the area:

1. Square the radius:
\[
r^2 = (2.5)^2 = 6.25
\]

2. Substitute the squared radius into the area formula:
\[
A = \pi \times 6.25
\]

Thus, the area of the circle is:

\[
A = 6.25\pi \, \text{ft}^2
\]

So the area of the circle is \( 6.25\pi \, \text{ft}^2 \).
