I think this is the solution:
2πr=3π
2r=3
r=3/2
πr2=9/4π

Answer:
2.25\ pi

Explanation:

We are given that the circumference of a circle =
3\pi

Now, we know that the circumference of a circle is given by :-


\text{Circumference}=2\pi r=\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3\pi=2\pi r\\\\\Rightarrow\ r=(3)/(2)\text{ units}

Also, the area of a circle is given by :-


\text{Area}=\pi r^2\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Area}=\pi((3)/(2))^2=(9)/(4)\pi=2.25\pi

Hence, the area of the circle =
2.25\ pi
