Answer: 803.84 square meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Derrick grows vegetables on a circular patch of land.
The radius of the patch is 16 meters.
We know that the area of a circle is given by :-
[tex]\text{Area}=\pi r^2[/tex]
For r = 16 meters, the area of the patch of land will be :-
[tex]\text{Area}=(3.14) (16)^2\ \ \ \ [\text{Put }\pi=3.14]\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Area}=803.84\text{ square meters}[/tex]
Hence, the approximate area of the patch of land = 803.84 square meters.
