Answer:

314 yd²

Explanation:

You want the area of a circle that has a diameter of 20 yards.

Area formula

The usual formula for the area of a circle is ...

A = πr² . . . . . . where r is the radius

The radius of the circle is half the diameter, so is (1/2)(20 yd) = 10 yd.

Using this value in the formula, we find the area to be ...

A = 3.14(10 yd)² = 314 yd²
