Area of square platter .

If side length of square platter is .

Then, .

As per question, .

So, .

Taking square both the sides, = .

Since the decimal is given in the hundredth position, we can estimate the value to the nearest tenth of a decimal.

Here, the hundredth place has the digit 3.

As 3 is less than 5, we don't add any number to the neighboring digit 1.

So, 3 becomes 0  and the number 11.13 becomes 11.10 and hence 11.1.

Therefore, the correct answer is 11.1
