The diameter of the circle is 27 ft, which means the radius is half of the diameter, so it is 27/2 = 13.5 ft.
The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr², where π is approximately 3.14 and r is the radius.
Substituting the values we have, we get:
A = π(13.5)²
A ≈ 3.14 x 182.25
A ≈ 572.22
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the area of the circle is approximately 572.22 square feet.
