Answer:

30.25 pi

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is given by

C = 2 * pi *r

11 pi = 2 * pi *r

divide each side by 2 pi

11/2 = 2 ( pi) * r/ ( 2pi)

11/2 = r

We can find the area by

A =  pi * r^2

   =  pi ( 11/2) ^2

   =  pi ( 121/4)

   = pi ( 121/4)

   = 30.25 pi

Answer:

[tex]\Huge \boxed{30.25 \pi}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle formula is:

[tex]C= \pi d[/tex]

The circumference is given, solve for d.

[tex]11\pi=\pi d[/tex]

Cancel [tex]\pi[/tex] from both sides.

[tex]11=d[/tex]

The radius is half the measure of the diameter.

[tex]\displaystyle r=\frac{11}{2} =5.5[/tex]

The area of a circle formula is:

[tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex]

Let r = 5.5, solve for the area.

[tex]A=\pi (5.5)^2[/tex]

[tex]A=\pi (30.25)=30.25\pi[/tex]
