Answer:$154

Explanation:

Given

the radius of the circular board is
$r=3.5\ m$

The cost of paint is
$\$4\ \text{per}\ m^2$

Area of circle
$=\pi r^2$

Area of board

$\Rightarrow A=\pi r^2\\\\\Rightarrow A=(22)/(7)* 3.5^2=38.48\ m^2$

Cost of painting

$\Rightarrow C=38.48* 4=153.95\approx \$154$
