To find the area that the flower bed will cover, we can use the formula for the area of a circle:

\[
A = \pi r^2
\]

Where \( r \) is the radius of the circle.

1. First, we need to find the radius of the flower bed. Since the diameter is given as 30 inches, the radius \( r \) is:

\[
r = \frac{30}{2} = 15 \text{ inches}
\]

2. Now we can calculate the area of the flower bed:

\[
A = \pi (15)^2
\]

\[
A = \pi \times 225
\]

\[
A \approx 3.14159 \times 225 \approx 706.85775
\]

3. Rounding this to the nearest hundredth:

\[
A \approx 706.86 \text{ square inches}
\]

Therefore, the area covered by the flower bed is approximately **706.86 square inches**.
