I am just trying to figure out how many targets they are making. How do I figure this out? The seventh-grade class is building target areas for a PE activity. The bases for the game will be in a circular shape. The diameter of each circle is 3 feet. Approximately, how many square feet of the turf need to be painted for a base circle? Use 3.14 for π and round your answer to the nearest tenth.

7.1 square feet
9.4 square feet
18.8 square feet
28.3 square feet

It does not matter how many targets they are making (to answer their question)
the question is what is the area of *one* circle
I would use 
Area= pi*r*r
with r= 3/2  (diameter divided by 2)

Not to be rude but I am still confused. I don't understand what I am supposed to be doing.
