Question

in the pacific northwest a red fox has a circular home range with a radius of about 718 meters. to the nearest whole number, about how many square meters are in a red fox’s home range? about \boxed{} m²

Explanation:

Step1: Recall circle area formula

The area $A$ of a circle is $A = \pi r^2$, where $r$ is the radius.

Step2: Substitute radius value

Substitute $r = 718$ meters:
$A = \pi \times (718)^2$
First calculate $718^2 = 718 \times 718 = 515524$

Step3: Compute and round the result

$A = \pi \times 515524 \approx 3.1416 \times 515524 \approx 1620570$

Answer:

About $1620570$ m²
