Step1: Write the area of the circular Rug

The area of the circle is


\Pi r^2

From the question the diameter is 25feet, hence the radius is


\begin{gathered} \text{radius}=(diameter)/(2) \\ =(25)/(2) \end{gathered}

Step2: substitute the value into the formula


\begin{gathered} \text{area of circular rug=area of a circle=}\Pi r^2 \\ =(22)/(7)*(25)/(2)*(25)/(2) \\ =(13750)/(28) \\ =491.07ft^2 \end{gathered}

Hence the area of the circular rug is 491.07 square feet

The will take approximately 491square feetyou
