To find the area of a circle, you use the formula:
\[ \text{Area} = \pi r^2 \]
where \( r \) is the radius of the circle.
Given the radius (\( r \)) is 7 feet, you can plug this value into the formula:
\[ \text{Area} = \pi \times 7^2 \]
\[ \text{Area} = \pi \times 49 \]
Using the π key on your calculator:
\[ \text{Area} \approx 3.141592653589793 \times 49 \]
\[ \text{Area} \approx 153.93804002589985 \]
Rounding to the nearest tenth:
\[ \text{Area} \approx 153.9 \text{ square feet} \]
So, the area of the circle is approximately **153.9 square feet**.
