The clock face in a famous clock tower has a radius of about 3 meters. What is the area of the clock face to the nearest square meter? Use 3.14 as an approximation for \( \pi \). . 28 square meters 19 square meters o square meters 113 square meters

To calculate the area of the clock face, you can use the formula for the area of a circle: \[ \text{Area} = \pi r^2 \] Where: - \( r \) is the radius of the circle. - \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14. Given: - Radius (\( r \)) = 3 meters Plugging in the values: \[ \text{Area} = 3.14 \times (3)^2 = 3.14 \times 9 = 28.26 \text{ square meters} \] Rounding to the nearest whole number: \[ \text{Area} \approx 28 \text{ square meters} \] **Answer:** 28 square meters
