Answer:

The area is 7850 square inches

Explanation:

Given the circumference, we want to calculate the area

mathematically, the circumference is;

C = 2 pi r

So r is C/2 pi

Area = pi * r^2

Substitute value for r from circumference;

Area = Pi * c^2/4pi^2

Area = C^2/4pi

Area = 314^2/4 * 3.14

Area = 7850 Inches square
