        Notice that I edited your post to make it grammatically and semantically correct. 


All they want is that you calculate the area of a circle of the given radius r = 18.1 miles.


Use the formula for the area of a circle 


    area = pi%2Ar%5E2 = 3.14159265%2A18.1%5E2 = 1029.22 square miles (rounded as requested).    ANSWER
