To find the diameter of the circle when the area is given, you can use the formula for the area of a circle:

\[
A = \pi r^2
\]

Given that the area \( A = 425 \, m^2 \), we can rearrange the formula to solve for the radius \( r \):

\[
r^2 = \frac{A}{\pi} = \frac{425}{\pi}
\]

Calculating this:

\[
r^2 \approx \frac{425}{3.14} \approx 135.24
\]

Now, take the square root to find the radius \( r \):

\[
r \approx \sqrt{135.24} \approx 11.62 \, m
\]

The diameter \( d \) is twice the radius:

\[
d = 2r \approx 2 \times 11.62 \approx 23.24 \, m
\]

Rounding to the nearest meter, the diameter is:

\[
d \approx 23 \, m
\]

Thus, the length of the diameter to the nearest meter is **23 m**.
