Answer:


\sf A \approx 78.5 \, \textsf{m}^2

Explanation:

The formula for the area (
\sf A) of a circle is given by:


\sf A = \pi r^2

where
\sf r is the radius of the circle. The radius is half of the diameter, so
\sf r = (d)/(2), where
\sf d is the diameter.

Given that the diameter (
\sf d) is 10 m, we can find the radius (
\sf r):


\sf r = (d)/(2) = \frac{10 \, \textsf{m}}{2} = 5 \, \textsf{m}

Now, we can substitute the radius into the formula for the area:


\sf A = \pi * (5 \, \textsf{m})^2


\sf A = \pi * 25 \, \textsf{m}^2

Using the approximate value of
\sf \pi \approx 3.14, we can calculate the area:


\sf A \approx 3.14 * 25 \, \textsf{m}^2


\sf A \approx 78.5 \, \textsf{m}^2 \textsf{ (in nearest tenth)}

Therefore, the area of the circle is approximately
\sf 78.5 \, \textsf{m}^2 to the nearest tenth.
