Answer:

127.32 yards diameter
12,732.4 square yards area

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter can be found from the circumference using the relation ...

C = πd

d = C/π = (400 yd)/π ≈ 127.32 yd . . . . diameter

The area is ...

A = πr²

where the radius (r) is half the diameter.

A = π(63.662 yd)² ≈ 12,732.4 yd² . . . . area

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

We have used a full-precision value for pi. If you use 3.14, your answers will be different. Your diameter will be about 127.4 yards; your area about 12,738.9 yd².
