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:
- Radius \( r = 59 \) inches
- \( \pi \approx 3.14 \)

Now, plug the values into the formula:

\[
\text{Area} = 3.14 \times (59)^2
\]

First, calculate \( (59)^2 \):

\[
59^2 = 3481
\]

Now, calculate the area:

\[
\text{Area} = 3.14 \times 3481
\]

\[
\text{Area} \approx 10,939.34 \text{ in}^2
\]

Rounding to the nearest hundredths place gives:

\[
\text{Area} \approx 10,939.34 \text{ in}^2
\]

The closest response from your options is:

**10,930.34 in²**
