HURRY PLEASE. A sprinkler that sprays water in a circular area can spray up to a radius of 22 ft.

What is the maximum area of lawn that can be watered by the sprinkler?

Use 3.14 to approximate for π .

Enter your answer to the nearest tenth in the box.

We will need to find the area of the circle. We will use this formula:
A =
\pi * radius^2

The question says we will use 3.14 for
\pi.
And we know radius is equal to 22.

A = 3.14 * 22^2
A = 3.14 * 484
A = 1519.76

Round to the nearest tenth.

A = 1519.8

So, the maximum area the sprinkler can water is 1519.8 ft squared.

EDIT:

I found a mistake in my answer.
