Answer:

≈78.539816 ft²

≈78.54 ft²

Explanation:

Since the logo is in the shape of a circle, the area can be found with the formula:

  • πr²

To find r, divide the diameter of the circle by 2 (r stands for radius, the length from the center of the circle to the edge):

  • 10÷2=5

Now that all variables are known, complete the equation to find the area:

  • πr²
  • π(5)²
  • (PEMDAS, use the exponents first)
  • 25 × π
  • ≈78.539816 ft² or ≈78.54 ft²
