Answer:
Area of circular trail = 7.1 square miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Distance covered by Mr. Baker = 6 miles
As this distance is of both sides, we will divide it by 2 which will give us the diameter of the circle.
Distance of one side = 6/2 = 3 miles
Diameter = 3 miles
Radius = 3/2 = 1.5 miles
Area of circle = [tex]\pi r^2[/tex]
Area of circle = [tex]3.14*(1.5)^2[/tex] = 3.14 * 2.25
Area of circle = 7.065 = 7.1 square miles
Hence,
Area of circular trail = 7.1 square miles
