$75.40

Explanation:

First, we must find the area. The formula for the area of a circle is A=πr2, and we know from the question that r=4.

Therefore, A=π(42)=16π square feet.

Since the painter charges $1.50 per square foot, he would charge a total of 16π1.50=$75.40.

$75.39

Explanation:

The area of a circle is given by the formula πr2. Plugging the radius into the equation, we get:
π×42=16π,or50.26ft2

If the sign costs $1.50 per square foot, then the cost for the sign is:
50.26×$1.50=$75.39
