Answer:


\boxed{\bf\:r = (55 √(314))/(157) \approx 6.21 \: units}

Explanation:

Given,

Area of the circle = 121 units²

We know that, the formula of the area of a circle =
\boxed{\pi r ^(2)}

Let's use the value of
\pi as 3.14.

We need to find the radius (r) of the circle.


\rule{150}{2}

By using this formula,


\sf\:A = \pi \:r^(2)\\\sf\:121 = 3.14* r^(2)\\\sf\:(121)/(3.14)=r^(2) \\\sf\:(12100)/(314)=r^(2) \\\sf\:(6050)/(157)=r^(2) \\\\\sf\:By \: simplifying \: it \: further,\\\boxed{\bf\:r = (55 √(314))/(157) \approx 6.21 \: units}
