To find the area of a circle, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Area} = \pi r^2 \]
Where \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14 and \( r \) is the radius of the circle.
Given that the radius \( r \) is 12 feet, we can calculate the area as follows:
\[ \text{Area} = 3.14 \times (12^2) \]
Calculating \( 12^2 \):
\[ 12^2 = 144 \]
Now plug that back into the formula:
\[ \text{Area} = 3.14 \times 144 \]
Calculating the multiplication:
\[ \text{Area} = 452.16 \text{ square feet} \]
So the area of the circle with a radius of 12 feet is 452.16 square feet.
