To find the diameter of a circle given the 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 can rearrange the formula to find the radius:

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

Once we have the radius, we can find the diameter \( d \) using the relationship:

\[ d = 2r \]

Given that the area \( A = 586 \, \text{m}^2 \), we can substitute this value into the formula:

1. Calculate the radius:
\[
r = \sqrt{\frac{586}{\pi}} \approx \sqrt{\frac{586}{3.14}} \approx \sqrt{186.54} \approx 13.65 \, \text{m}
\]

2. Calculate the diameter:
\[
d = 2r \approx 2 \times 13.65 \approx 27.3 \, \text{m}
\]

Rounding to the nearest meter gives us a diameter of approximately 27 m.

Thus, the answer is **27 m**.
