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 12 feet and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):
\[ \text{Area} = 3.14 \times (12)^2 \] \[ = 3.14 \times 144 \] \[ = 452.16 \text{ square feet} \]
Thus, the area of the circle is 452.16 square feet.
