Answer:

9852.03456166... cm^2

Explanation:

Solve for the area of the circular table:


A=\pi r^2\\A=\pi 56^2\\A=\pi 3136\\A=9852.03456166...

The tablecloth must have an area greater than 9852.03456166... cm^2 to cover the top of the table.

112 because you have to take the radius x2 to get the diameter
