We are given a circle with a diameter of 72 ft. We are asked to determine its area. To do that we will use the following formula:


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

Where "D" is the diameter. Replacing the values:


A=((3.14)(72ft)^2)/(4)

Solving the operations:


A=4069.44ft^2

Now we are asked to determine the circumference of the circle, to do that we use the following formula:


C=\pi D

Replacing the values:


C=(3.14)(72ft)

Solving the operations:


C=226.08ft

Since the circumference is the measure of the longitude of the circle, if it were to be surrounded by tape this is the measure we would have to use.
