A student investigated the effectiveness of two antibiotics (Antibiotic X and Antibiotic Y) against a culture of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Filter paper discs infused with each antibiotic were placed onto agar plates inoculated with the bacteria. After incubation for 36 hours, the zones of inhibition were recorded.
| Antibiotic | Radius of zone of inhibition (mm) | Area of zone of inhibition (mm2^{2}2) |
|---|---|---|
| Antibiotic X | 14 | 615 |
| Antibiotic Y | To be calculated | To be calculated |
Calculate the area of the zone of inhibition for Antibiotic Y.
