Answer:

10,635.934 m^2

Explanation:

The formula for area of a circle is π r² (pi ⋅ radius ⋅ radius)

According to the word problem, 58.2 is the radius.

Now that we know the radius, we have our final equation:

pi ⋅ radius ⋅ radius

(3.14 IS USED FOR PI)

3.14 ⋅ 58.2 ⋅ 58.2 = 10,635.9336

10,635.9336 rounded to the three decimal places (to the nearest thousandth): 10,635.934

Therefore, the area of this circle in square meters is 10,635.934 m^2.
