A crop circle discovered in Cambridge, England, covers approximately 44,100 square feet. What is the approximate diameter of this circle?

We have a circle that has an approximate area of 44100 ft².
We have to calculate the diameter.
We can relate diameter D and area A as:
[tex]A=\frac{\pi}{4}D^2[/tex]We can then calculate D as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{\pi}{4}D^2 \\ D^2=\frac{4A}{\pi} \\ D=\sqrt{\frac{4A}{\pi}} \\ D=\sqrt{\frac{4(44100)}{\pi}} \\ D\approx\sqrt{56149} \\ D\approx237\text{ }ft \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer: the diameter is approximately 237 ft
