Answer:  31.7 (choice C)

========================================================

Explanation:

The full circle has an area of 121pi square cm, as shown by the steps below

A = pi*r^2

A = pi*11^2

A = pi*121

A = 121pi

Again, this applies to the entire circle. However, we only want a small pizza slice of it. Specifically, we want a 30 degree slice out of a full 360 degree circle. So we want 30/360 = 1/12 of the full area.

(1/12)*121pi = 31.6777 approximately

That rounds to 31.7
