Identify Given Data

Note down the radius of the circle given in the problem statement: $r = 7$ cm.

$r = 7\text{ cm}$

State the Area Formula

Recall the standard formula for the area of a circle in terms of its radius: $\text{Area} = \pi r^2$.

$\text{Area} = \pi r^2$

Substitute Values and Calculate

Substitute $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$ and $r = 7$ into the formula: $\text{Area} = \frac{22}{7} \times 7^2 = \frac{22}{7} \times 49 = 22 \times 7 = 154$.

$\text{Area} = \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 7 = 154\text{ cm}^2$
