Answer:
so a good strategy might be to solve for the entire area of a circle.. then cut that up into quarters and add 3 of those together to get the correct answer
Explanation:
area of a circle formula = pi *

we are given r =2 ( nice and easy to work with )
and we get to use an easy approximation of pi of 3.14
so the whole circle's area is pi *

3.14 * 4 = 12.56
that's the entire circle.. divide by 4 the multiply by 3 like this
3/4 * 12.56 = 9.42
you could also think of this as multiplying the entire circle by 3/4 (0.75) if you prefer but it's good to recognize that you can divide it up into 4 parts .. then multiply by 3...
