To find the area of a circle, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Area} = \pi r^2 \]
where \( r \) is the radius of the circle. The radius is half of the diameter.
Given that the diameter is 22 yards, the radius is:
\[ r = \frac{22}{2} = 11 \text{ yards} \]
Now, we can calculate the area:
\[ \text{Area} = \pi (11)^2 = \pi \times 121 \]
Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):
\[ \text{Area} \approx 3.14 \times 121 \approx 366.94 \text{ square yards} \]
So, the area of the circle is approximately \( 366.94 \) square yards. If you need a more precise value, you can use more decimal places for \( \pi \) or leave the area in terms of \( \pi \):
\[ \text{Area} = 121\pi \text{ square yards} \]
