To find the area of a circle, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Area} = \pi r^2 \]
Where \( r \) is the radius of the circle.
Given that the radius \( r = 59 \) inches and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):
-
First, calculate \( r^2 \):
\[ r^2 = 59^2 = 3481 \]
-
Now, calculate the area:
\[ \text{Area} = 3.14 \times 3481 \]
\[ \text{Area} = 10950.34 , \text{in}^2 \]
Rounding to the nearest hundredths place:
\[ \text{Area} \approx 10,950.34 , \text{in}^2 \]
The closest option to this calculation is:
10,930.34 in².
