Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.

Correct answer to question 230 (Arithmetic Reasoning): 314 square feet

Method

The radius is half the diameter, or 10 feet. The area formula uses the radius squared, so 3.14 x 10 x 10 gives 314 square feet. Using the diameter instead of the radius is the usual mistake.
