Let’s solve the problem step by step.

Given:

• Radius of the circle ($r$) = 3 ft
• Approximation for $\pi$: $\pi = 3.14$

Formulas:

1. Area of a circle: $\text{Area} = \pi r^2$

2. Circumference of a circle: $\text{Circumference} = 2\pi r$

Calculation:

1. Area:

$\text{Area} = 3.14 \times (3)^2$ $\text{Area} = 3.14 \times 9 = 28.26 \, \text{ft}^2$

2. Circumference:

$\text{Circumference} = 2 \times 3.14 \times 3$ $\text{Circumference} = 18.84 \, \text{ft}$

Final Answers:

• Area: $28.26 \, \text{ft}^2$
• Circumference: $18.84 \, \text{ft}$
