1. **Problem Statement:** Find the area of a square given its diagonal length is 11 m.
2. **Formula and Rules:** For a square with side length $s$ and diagonal length $d$, the relationship is given by the Pythagorean theorem:
$$d = s\sqrt{2}$$
3. **Find the side length $s$:**
$$s = \frac{d}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{11}{\sqrt{2}}$$
4. **Rationalize the denominator:**
$$s = \frac{11}{\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{11\sqrt{2}}{2}$$
5. **Calculate the area $A$ of the square:**
$$A = s^2 = \left(\frac{11\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{11^2 \times 2}{2^2} = \frac{121 \times 2}{4} = \frac{242}{4}$$
6. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$A = \frac{\cancel{242}^{121} \times 2}{\cancel{4}^2} = 60.5$$
7. **Final answer:** The area of the square is $60.5$ square meters.
