First, to find the circumference, we can use the formula:


C=2\pi r

Where C is the circumference and r is the radius.

So, for r = 3, we have:


\begin{gathered} C=2\cdot3.14\cdot3 \\ C=18.84\text{ cm} \end{gathered}

Now, to calculate the area, we can use the formula:


A=\pi r^2

So we have:


\begin{gathered} A=3.14\cdot3^2 \\ A=3.14\cdot9 \\ A=28.26\text{ cm}^2 \end{gathered}
