The area \( A \) of a circle can be calculated using the formula:
\[ A = \pi r^2 \]
where \( r \) is the radius of the circle. Given that the radius is 59 inches, we can plug that value into the formula:
\[ A = \pi (59)^2 \]
Calculating \( (59)^2 \):
\[ 59^2 = 3481 \]
Now, substituting back into the area formula:
\[ A = \pi \times 3481 \]
Using the approximation \( \pi \approx 3.14159 \):
\[ A \approx 3.14159 \times 3481 \approx 10920.79739 \]
Thus, the area of the circle is approximately:
\[ A \approx 10920.8 \text{ square inches} \]
So, the area of the circle is approximately 10920.8 square inches.
