Answer:

27π or 84.78 square units

Explanation:

You want the area of 3/4 of a circle of radius 6.

Area

The area of a circle is given by ...

A = πr² . . . . . where r is the radius

The figure shown is 3/4 of a circle, so its area for r = 6 will be ...

A = 3/4·π·6² = 27π . . . . square units

For π = 3.14, the numerical value of this is ...

27·3.14 = 84.78 . . . . square units

Additional comment

You will notice in the attachment that the value using "the π button" has a different decimal fraction than the value using 3.14.
