Answer:
The approximate area is [tex]164,664.74\ mi^{2}[/tex] or the exact area is [tex]52,441\pi\ mi^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The area of a circle is equal to
[tex]A=\pi r^{2}[/tex]
we have
[tex]r=229\ mi[/tex]
substitute
[tex]A=\pi (229^{2})=52,441\pi\ mi^{2}[/tex]
assume [tex]\pi=3.14[/tex]
[tex]52,441(3.14)=164,664.74\ mi^{2}[/tex]
