Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf a \approx 113.0 \ ft^2}}

Explanation:

The area of a circle is the space inside the shape. The formula is:


a= \pi r^2

We know the radius of the circle is 6 feet and we are using 3.14 for pi.

  • r= 6 ft
  • π= 3.14

Substitute the values into the formula.


a= (3.14) * (6 \ ft)^2

Solve the exponent.

  • (6 ft)² = 6 ft * 6 ft = 36 ft²


a= (3.14) * 36 \ ft^2

Multiply.


a=113.04 \ ft^2

Let's round to the nearest tenth. The 4 in the hundredth place tells us to leave the 0 in the tenths place.


a \approx 113.0 \ ft^2

The area of the circle is approximately 113.0 square feet.
