The area of the largest circular fire pit will be 19.625 sq ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The length of the rectangular pit (L) = 4 ft

The width of the rectangular pit (B) = 3 ft

To find the area of the largest circle we need to find the diagonal of the rectangle first.

The diagonal will be the diameter of the circle.

Formula

By Pythagoras theorem, $hypotenuse^{2} = base^{2}+height^{2}$

The area of a circle of radius r is = π $r^{2}$ sq ft

Now the diagonal of the rectangle = $\sqrt{L^{2} +B^{2} }$ ft

= $\sqrt{4^{2} +3^{2} }$ ft

=5 ft

The diameter of the circle is 5 ft

So, the radius = 2.5 ft

The area of the circle = 3.14 × $2.5^{2}$ sq ft

= 19.625 sq ft
