We know that the area of a circle is defined as .
Since we already have the area, and need to determine the radius, we just use a little algebra.

, since we know that the radius is positive, we do not need to take the positive and negative of r, only the positive. So the radius is...

and then...

Approximately 11.3 rounded to the tenths
And the circumference of the floor is
which is
so...

which is approximately 70.9 rounded to the tenth
