Start with recognizing that area of the circle is the math concept involved here and check what we know.
A of circle= pi• r^2
22=3.14•r^2
Square root (22/3.14)=r
Solve to find the radius “r”

The formula of the area of a circle with radius r:

A_O=\pi r^2
We have

A_O=22\ m^2
Substitute:

\pi r^2=22\ \ \ |:\pi\\\\r^2=(22)/(\pi)\to r=\sqrt{(22)/(\pi)}\ m
If you want an approximation, then:

\pi\approx(22)/(7)\to r=\sqrt{(22)/((22)/(7))}=\sqrt{22\cdot(7)/(22)}=\sqrt7\ m\approx2.65\ m
