Final answer:
The total area of the circle on the playground with a radius of 10 feet is 314.00 square feet, calculated using the formula A = πr² with π approximated as 3.14.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the total area of the circle on the playground at Hyde Middle School, we use the formula for the area of a circle, A = πr², where r is the radius of the circle and π (pi) is a constant. Given that the radius r is 10 feet, and using π as 3.14, the calculation becomes A = 3.14 × (10 feet)².
Performing the multiplication, the area is:
A = 3.14 × 100 square feet= 314 square feet.
To provide an answer rounded to the nearest hundredth, the area remains at 314.00 square feet, as there are no additional decimal places beyond the hundredths in this case.
