A merry-go-round has a circular platform with a radius of 4 feet. What is the platform's area?

Use 3.14 for โ€‹๐œ‹. If necessary, round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

square feet

The area of the circular platform can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle:

Area = ๐œ‹ * radius^2

Area = 3.14 * 4^2
Area = 3.14 * 16
Area = 50.24

Therefore, the platform's area is 50.24 square feet.
