Answer 1

I think the correct answer is 70,650 ft², but I would make sure with someone else just in case. 

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

70686 sq.ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Radius of the whole space is 250 ft.

            Radius of pond is 200 ft.

To Find: the square feet of gravel needed

Solution:

Area of whole space = $\pi r^2$

                                  = $3.14(250)^2$

                                  = $196250$

Area of Pond = $\pi r^2$

                                  = $3.14(200)^2$

                                  = $125600$

So, the square feet of gravel needed =$196250-125600$

                                                              =$70650$

Hence 70650 sq.ft. of gravel is needed.

So, Option D is approximately equal to the obtained answer

So, Option D is true.
