We are asked to find the area of the given circle.

Recall that the area of a circle is given by


A=\pi r^2

Where π is a constant and r is the radius of the circle.

From the figure, we see that the diameter is 22 km

Recall that the radius is half of the diameter.

So, the radius of the circle is


r=(D)/(2)=(22)/(2)=11\: km

So, the area of the circle is


A=\pi r^2=\pi(11)^2=\pi\cdot121=380.1\: km^2

Therefore, the area of the circle is 380.1 square km (rounded to the nearest tenth)
