Area of a circle: A = πr²

Get the radius by dividing the diameter by 2.

17 / 2 = 8.5

Now, solve with the given values.

A = π(8.5)²

A = 72.25π

A = 226.865

Therefore, the area is 226.865ft³

Best of Luck!

Answer: A≈226.98 ft²

Explanation:

The formula for area of a circle is A=πr². The formula doesn't include diameter , but we can certainly find the radius from the diameter.

d=2r

17=2r

r=17/2=8.5 ft

Now that we have the radius, we can plug it in to area formula.

A=πr²

A=π(8.5ft)²

A=π72.25ft²

A≈226.98 ft²
