Answer: [tex]5027.2\ ft^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The radius of the circle is [tex]r=40\ ft[/tex]
The area of the circle is given by [tex]\pi r^2[/tex]
Insert the value of radius and get the area to play
[tex]\Rightarrow \text{Area A=}\pi \times 40^2\\\\\Rightarrow A=3.142\times 1600\Rightarrow A=5027.2\ ft^2[/tex]
Thus, the area to play is [tex]5027.2\ ft^2[/tex]
