Answer

$0.7225 \pi \ ft^2$

Work Step by Step

Let $A$ be the area of a circle. The area $(A)$ of a circle whose radius is $R$ is given by: $A=\pi r^2 ...(1)$ We know that the radius is half of the diameter of a circle. That is, $r=\dfrac{d}{2}=\dfrac{1.7}{2}=0.85$ Plug the data in the equation (1) to obtain: $A=\pi (0.85)^2=\pi(0.7225)$ Therefore, we get , $Area=0.7225 \pi \ ft^2$
