Answer:


Area=121\pi ft^2 in terms of
\pi.

Explanation:

A 360 degree rotating sprinkler will water a full circular region of the lawn.

The area of this circular region is calculated using the formula:


Area=\pi r^2

where r=11 feet is the radius of the circular region covered.

We substitute the value of the radius into the formula to get:


Area=\pi * 11^2


Area=121\pi ft^2 in terms of
\pi.

This is approximately
380.1 ft^2 to the nearest tenth
