To calculate the area \( A \) of a circle, you can use the formula:

\[
A = \pi r^2
\]

where \( r \) is the radius of the circle. Given that the radius \( r \) is 7 millimeters and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \), we can substitute these values into the formula:

\[
A = 3.14 \times (7)^2
\]

Calculating \( (7)^2 \):

\[
(7)^2 = 49
\]

Now, substitute this value back into the area formula:

\[
A = 3.14 \times 49
\]

Now, perform the multiplication:

\[
A = 153.86
\]

Rounding \( A \) to the nearest hundredth:

\[
A \approx 153.86
\]

Therefore, the area of the circle is **153.86 square millimeters**.
