To calculate the area of the circle, we will use the formula for the area of a circle:

$\text{Area} = \pi r^2$

where:

• $r = 11 \, \text{cm}$ (the radius).

Substitute the value of $r$ into the formula:

$\text{Area} = \pi (11)^2 = \pi \times 121$

Using the approximation $\pi \approx 3.1416$:

$\text{Area} = 3.1416 \times 121 \approx 380.132 \, \text{cm}^2$

Rounding to one decimal place:

$\text{Area} \approx 380.1 \, \text{cm}^2$

So, the area of the circle is approximately $380.1 \, \text{cm}^2$.
