Answer: 33 square cm
============================================================
Explanation:
Refer to the diagram below. I've split the regular pentagon into 5 equal slices (as if it was a pizza). Each triangle is congruent.
The base of each triangle is 22/5 = 4.4 cm
The height of each triangle is the apothem 3 cm. The apothem stretches from the center to the midpoint of any given side. It's the red dashed line in the diagram.
The area of one of the triangles is base*height/2 = 4.4*3/2 = 6.6 square cm.
Since we have 5 identical triangles with this area, we have a total area of 5*6.6 = 33 square cm
