To find the area of a circle, you can use the formula:

\[ A = \pi r^2 \]

where \( r \) is the radius of the circle. The radius is half of the diameter. Given that the diameter of the circle is 10.6 yards, we can calculate the radius as follows:

\[ r = \frac{10.6}{2} = 5.3 \text{ yards} \]

Now we can substitute the radius into the area formula:

\[ A = \pi (5.3)^2 \]

Calculating \( (5.3)^2 \):

\[ (5.3)^2 = 28.09 \]

Now substitute this value into the area formula:

\[ A = \pi \times 28.09 \]

Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[ A \approx 3.14 \times 28.09 \approx 88.0506 \]

Rounding to the tenths place:

\[ A \approx 88.1 \]

Thus, the area of the circle is approximately \( \boxed{88.1} \) square yards.
