The perimeter of a square, in centimeters, is equal to the circumference of a circle in centimeters. The radius of the circle is 3 centimeters. To the nearest square centimeter, what is the area of the square? (Use 3.14 for π.)

This question is for a practice test and I want to understand all of the material. The answer is 22 cm, but I have no idea how to come to that answer. Could someone please explain how to solve this problem and get 22 cm as the answer?
