Explanation:

Given

See attachment for corner shelf

Required

The area

The corner shelf is a quadrant with radius;


r = 8.5in

The area of a quadrant is:


Area = (\pi r^2)/(4)

So, the area of the corner shelf is:


Area = (\pi * 8.5^2)/(4)


Area = (\pi * 72.25)/(4)


Area = \pi * 18.0625

Take
\pi as 3.14


Area = 3.14 * 18.0625


Area = 56.7 -- approximated
