Step-by-step explanation:
Look, you're taking these kinds of questions too serious and that's why you believe they're hard, now pay close attention:
the areas are defined in cm² but the radius is defined in cm, so you need find the positive root of cm².
[tex] \sqrt{ \frac{5500 {cm}^{2} }{220 {cm}^{2} } } = \frac{r}{5cm} = = > \\ 5 = \frac{r}{5} = = = > r = 25[/tex]
and the question wants the base area:
[tex]s = \pi {r}^{2} = = = > s = 3.14 \times {(25cm)}^{2} = = > 1963.5 {cm}^{2} [/tex]
