Formula:
The area of a circle is calculated using the formula:
* Area (A) = π * r²
Where:
* π (pi) is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159
* r is the radius of the circle
Calculation:
1. Substitute the radius: A = π * (3000 feet)²
2. Square the radius: A = π * 9,000,000 square feet
3. Multiply by π: A ≈ 3.14159 * 9,000,000 square feet
4. Calculate the area: A ≈ 28,274,330 square feet
Answer: A circle with a radius of 3000 feet has an area of approximately 28,274,330 square feet.
