Rounded to nearest foot ->314 " feet"^2314 feet2

Explanation:

Let the radius be rr
Let the diameter be dd
Let area be aa

Known:
a=pir^2a=πr2

Same equation in a different form

r=d/2=> pir^2-> pi(d/2)^2 = pid^2/4r=d2πr2π(d2)2=πd24
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Given that d=20 ftd=20ft we have

a=pi(20^2)/4a=π2024

a=314.159" feet"^2a=314.159 feet2 to 3 decimal places

Rounded to nearest foot 314 " feet"^2314 feet2
