First, we need to know the formula for area of a circle.
Area of a circle = π*r2 (Pi * radius squared)
Next, we plug the given radius value into the formula.
So if r=3, the area of the circle is π*32 = π*9. This is usually written with the "pi" after the arabic number: 9π ("nine pi")
Hope this helps!
