To find the area of a circle, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Area} = \pi r^2 \]
where \( r \) is the radius of the circle. Given that the radius is 12 feet and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):
-
Calculate \( r^2 \): \[ r^2 = 12^2 = 144 \]
-
Now, calculate the area: \[ \text{Area} = 3.14 \times 144 \]
-
Perform the multiplication: \[ \text{Area} = 452.16 \text{ square feet} \]
So the area of the circle is 452.16 square feet.
