Answer:

area of a circle = 1808.64meters²

Explanation:

given that ,

π = 3.14

circumference = 150.72meters

calculate the area of the circle.

to calculate the circumference of a circle

recall,

circumference of a circle = 2πr

circumference of a circle = 2 x 3.14 x r

circumference of a circle = 6.28r

150.72meteras = 6.28r

divide both sides by 6.26

150.72meters/6.28 = 6.28r/6.28

24meters = radius

radius = 24 meters

now to calculate the area of the circle

recall the formulae for finding the area of a circle is given to be = πr²

area of a circle = πr²

area of a circle = 3.14 x ( 24)²

area of a circle = 3.14 x 576meters²

area of a circle = 1808.64meters²
