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. The radius is half of the diameter. Given the diameter is 140 ft, the radius \( r \) is:

\[ r = \frac{140}{2} = 70 \text{ ft} \]

Now, substitute \( r \) into the area formula:

\[ \text{Area} = 3.14 \times (70)^2 \]

Calculating \( (70)^2 \):

\[ (70)^2 = 4900 \]

Now, substitute back into the area formula:

\[ \text{Area} = 3.14 \times 4900 \]

Now perform the multiplication:

\[ \text{Area} = 15,386 \text{ ft}^2 \]

So the area of the circle is **15,386 ft²**.
