Answer:

The cage will cover an area of 805 ft^2 on the Ocean floor

Explanation:

To calculate the amount of space the cage has on the Ocean floor, we calculate the area of the base of the cylinder

Mathematically, that will be pi * d^2/4

= 22/7 * (32 * 32)/4

= 22/7 * 256 = 804.5714285714286

The cage will cover an area of 805 ft^2 on the ocean floor
