Answer:

9π ≈ 28.27 square units

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a circle is ...

A = πr² . . . . . radius r

For a radius of 6 units, the area is ...

A = π·6² = 36π . . . . . square units

The area of a quarter-circle is 1/4 of this:

quarter-circle area = (1/4)(36π) = 9π ≈ 28.27 . . . square units
