SOLUTION

To solve this question, we should know the formula for calculating the area of the circle.


Area=\pi r^2
\begin{gathered} \text{Area}=155ft^2 \\ 155=3.14* r^2 \\ (155)/(3.14)=r^2 \\ 49.3631=r^2 \\ \text{Take the square root of both sides} \\ \sqrt[]{49.3631}=\sqrt[]{r^2} \\ 7.026=r \\ 7\text{ f}eet\text{ =r} \end{gathered}

The approximate radius of the circle is 7 feet.

The correct option is D.
