Answer:

Explanation:

Since the outdoor ice skating arena is in the shape of a circle, we would determine its area by applying the formula for determining the area of a circle which is expressed as

Area = πr²

Where

π is a constant whose value is 3.14

r represents the radius of the circle

From the information given,

Diameter = 42 feet

Radius = diameter/2 = 42/2 = 21 feet

Therefore,

Area = 3.14 × 21² = 1384.74 square feet

Rounding up to the nearest whole number, area of the outdoor ice skating arena would be 1385 square feet
