Question

Work out the area of the shape drawn below.
6 m

Answer 1

28.3 m²

Explanation:

The formula to find the area of a quadrant: 1/4 x π x r², where r is radius (diameter ÷ 2) and π is 3.14 or 22/7 or 3.142.

1) Substitute the values into the formula.

= 1/4 x 22/7 x 6²

2) Solve it.

= 1/4 x 22/7 x 36

= 1/4 x 113.14

= 28.285

2) Round the answer to one decimal place.

= 28.3
