To find the area of a circle, we use the formula A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle.

Given that the circumference of the circle is 22 inches, we know that 2πr = 22. Solving for r, we have r = 22 / (2π) = 22 / (2 * 3.14) ≈ 3.50 inches.

Now we can substitute r = 3.50 into the formula A = πr^2:

A = 3.14 * (3.50)^2 ≈ 3.14 * 12.25 ≈ 38.47

Therefore, the area of the circle is approximately 38.47 square inches.
