  • D77

Step-by-Step Solution

The distance from the centre to the boundary is the RADIUS. r = d ÷ 2 = 154 ÷ 2 = 77 m. Quoting the diameter 154 m is the trap; 308 m doubles it instead of halving.
Answer: D) 77

Key idea: Area of a circle

**Area of a circle = π × .**

Note it's squared, not . So if , area = π × 49 (not π × 14).

Example cm, π = .

Example cm, π ≈ 3.14): A ≈ .
