Answer 1

124.7 ft²

Explanation

The area of a circle is calculated as follows:

`A=(\pi D^2)/(4)`

where D is the diameter of the circle.

From the diagram, the diameter of the circular top is 12.6 ft, then its area is:

`\begin{gathered} A=(\pi(12.6)^2)/(4) \\ A=124.7\text{ ft}^2 \end{gathered}`
