Answer:
226.9 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for circumference of a circle is:
C = 2πr, where π = 3.14 and r = the radius
The formula for area of a circle is
A = πr²
First, using the formula for circumference, you can solve for 'r':
53.42 = 2πr or 53.42 = 6.28r (divide) r = 8.5
Now, use the value of 'r' to solve for area:
A = π8.5² or 3.14(8.5)² = 226.9 in²
