1. **State the problem:** We are given the area of a circle as 35 square feet and need to find the radius. 2. **Formula:** The area $A$ of a circle is given by the formula $$A = \pi r^2$$ where $r$ is the radius. 3. **Rearrange the formula to solve for $r$:** $$r = \sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi}}$$ 4. **Substitute the given area:** $$r = \sqrt{\frac{35}{\pi}}$$ 5. **Calculate the value:** Using $\pi \approx 3.1416$, $$r = \sqrt{\frac{35}{3.1416}} = \sqrt{11.140} \approx 3.337$$ 6. **Round the answer:** Rounded to one decimal place, the radius is $3.3$ feet. **Final answer:** The radius of the circle is $3.3$ feet.
