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 \( \pi \approx 3.14 \), we can calculate the area as follows:
\[ \text{Area} = 3.14 \times (59)^2 \]
First, calculate \( (59)^2 \):
\[ 59^2 = 3481 \]
Now, substitute that back into the area formula:
\[ \text{Area} = 3.14 \times 3481 \]
Now, perform the multiplication:
\[ \text{Area} \approx 3.14 \times 3481 = 10927.34 \]
Finally, round to the nearest hundredths place:
\[ \text{Area} \approx 10927.34 , \text{in}^2 \]
Thus, the area of the circle is approximately 10,927.34 in². However, none of the provided responses match this value. Please check the available options again. The correct area rounded correctly is 10,927.34 in² based on the calculations shown above.
