Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 254.34 \ yd^2}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a shape is the space occupied by the surface of an object. The area of a circle can be calculated using the following formula.
[tex]a= \pi r^2[/tex]
The radius (r) of the center circle on the soccer field is 9 yards. We are asked to use 3.14 for pi.
Substitute these values into the formula.
[tex]a= (3.14)(9 \ yd)^2[/tex]
Solve the exponent.
[tex]a= (3.14)(81 \ yd^2)[/tex]
Multiply.
[tex]a= 254.34 \ yd^2[/tex]
The area of the center circle on the soccer field is 254.34 square yards.
