To find the area of a circle, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Area} = \pi r^2 \]
where \( r \) is the radius. In this case, the radius \( r \) is 9.15 m.
Now, plugging in the value of the radius:
\[ \text{Area} = \pi (9.15)^2 \approx 3.14159 \times 83.7225 \approx 262.89 , m^2 \]
Thus, the approximate area of the circle is D. 262.89 m².
