To find the diameter of a circle given its area, we can use the formula for the area of a circle:

\[ A = \pi r^2 \]

where \(A\) is the area and \(r\) is the radius. We need to solve for the radius first, and then we can find the diameter.

Given that the area \(A = 586\) m², we can rearrange the formula to find \(r\):

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

\[ r = \sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi}} \]

Now we can substitute the given area:

\[ r = \sqrt{\frac{586}{\pi}} \approx \sqrt{\frac{586}{3.14159}} \approx \sqrt{186.96} \approx 13.67 \text{ m} \]

Now, the diameter \(d\) is twice the radius:

\[ d = 2r = 2 \times 13.67 \approx 27.34 \text{ m} \]

To the nearest meter, the diameter is approximately 27 m.

The length of the diameter to the nearest meter is 27 m.
