Answer:

Area = π·r^2 = 3.14·9.5^2 = 283.5 square meters(*)

Area of a circle in terms of diameter:

Area = π·(d/2)^2 = 3.14·(19/2)^2 = 3.14·(9.5)^2 = 283.5 square meters(*)

Area of a circle in terms of the circumference:

Area = C^2/4π = 59.69^2/4π = 3562.9/(4·3.14) = 3562.9/12.56 = 283.5 square meters(*)

(*) 283.52873698648 meters, exactly or limited to the precision of this calculator (13 decimal places).

Note: for simplicity, the operations above were rounded to 2 decimal places and π was rounded to 3.14.

Hope it is helpful...
