    To solve this exercise, you must apply the proccedure below:

    1. First, you must apply the formula for calculate the area of a semicircle, which is:

    A=πr²/2

    A is the area of the semicircle.

    π=3.14

    r is the radius of the semicircle

    2. The radius is:

    r=D/2

    r=30.77 feet/2

    r=15.385 feet

    3. When you substitute the values into the formula, you obtain:

    A=πr²/2

    A = (3.14) (15.385 feet) ²/2

    A=371.61 feet²

    The area that will be painted grey is: 371.61 feet ²
