    The answer to your question is Area = 38 ft²

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Data

    Rectangular fire pit = 8 ft x 7 ft

    Area of the circular fire = ?

    Process

    The largest circle that can be made in the rectangular fire pit must have a diameter of 7 ft.

    1. - Calculate the radius

    radius = diameter/2

    radius = 7/2

    radius = 3.5 ft

    2. - Calculate the area of the circle

    Area = πr²

    -Substitution

    Area = (3.14) (3.5) ²

    -Simplification

    Area = 38.4 ft² ≈ 38 ft²
