Answer: 803.84 square meters

Explanation:

Given : Derrick grows vegetables on a circular patch of land.

The radius of the patch is 16 meters.

We know that the area of a circle is given by :-


\text{Area}=\pi r^2

For r = 16 meters, the area of the patch of land will be :-


\text{Area}=(3.14) (16)^2\ \ \ \ [\text{Put </strong>}\pi=3.14]\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Area}=803.84\text{ square meters}

Hence, the approximate area of the patch of land = 803.84 square meters.
