We want the area of a circle when the circumference is 754 miles.

1. First find the radius. Circumference C = 2πr, so r = C ÷ (2π).
r = 754 ÷ (2 × π) ≈ 754 ÷ 6.283 ≈ 120.0 miles.

2. Now find the area. Area A = πr².
Using r ≈ 120 miles: A ≈ π × 120² = π × 14,400.

If π ≈ 3.14159, A ≈ 3.14159 × 14,400 ≈ 45,241 square miles.

So the signal covers about 45,241 square miles.
(That’s a very large area — roughly the size of a medium U.S. state.)
