Answer:

area of a circle = πr^2

So to find the area we need to know the radius. This is easy, as the radius is half of the diameter. So let's half it:

34/2 = 17m

And then substitue 17, for r:

= π(17)^2

= 289π

= 907.9202769m^2

You can round this however you like, but the best options are often either 3 significant figures, either 1 or 2 decimal places.
