The radius of the circle is half of the diameter, so the radius is 68 cm / 2 = 34 cm.
The area of a circle is calculated using the formula:
Area = π * radius^2
Area = 3.14 * 34^2
Area = 3.14 * 1156
Area = 3626.64 cm2
So, the approximate area of the circle is 3,626.64 cm2. The closest option is 3,629.84 cm2.
