To calculate 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 \( r = 75 \) mm and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \), we can substitute the values into the formula:

\[ \text{Area} = 3.14 \times (75)^2 \]

First, calculate \( 75^2 \):

\[ 75^2 = 5625 \]

Now substitute that back into the area formula:

\[ \text{Area} = 3.14 \times 5625 \]

Now, perform the multiplication:

\[ \text{Area} \approx 17662.5 \]

So, the approximate area of the circle is:

\[ \text{Area} \approx 17662.5 , \text{mm}^2 \]

Thus, the area of the circle rounded to the tenths place is:

\[ \boxed{17662.5} \]
