To find the area of a circle, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Area} = \pi r^2 \]
Where:
- \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14
- \( r \) is the radius of the circle
Given that the radius \( r \) is 59 inches, we can substitute this value into the formula:
\[ \text{Area} = 3.14 \times (59)^2 \]
First, calculate \( (59)^2 \):
\[ (59)^2 = 3481 \]
Now substitute this value back into the area formula:
\[ \text{Area} = 3.14 \times 3481 \]
Now calculate:
\[ \text{Area} \approx 10934.34 \text{ in}^2 \]
Rounding to the nearest hundredths place, the area is:
\[ \text{Area} \approx 10,934.34 \text{ in}^2 \]
The closest answer from the options you provided is:
10,930.34 in.²
It seems the answer you provided was slightly different due to rounding; however, if the calculations strictly followed \( \pi = 3.14 \), the area would be approximately \( 10,934.34 \).
