Area = 28.27cm^2

Explanation:

The area of a circle can be obtained by using the equation below:

where the mathematical constant, pi, has a value of approximately 3.14 and r represents the radius of the circle.

All we have to do is square the given radius and multiply that value by pi to figure out the area:

Area = (3cm)^2 xx pi
Area = 28.27cm^2
