Answer:

23.55

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the area I did the following equation

area = 3.14 (r) (r)

area = 3.14 (3) (3)

area = 28.26

The area is 28.26 but the question is asking how much gravel would be needed to fill 5/6 of the area.

The equation for 5/6 out of 28.26 is

28.26 (5/6) = 23.55

So the final answer is (a.) 23.55 sq. ft.
