c := circumference of a circle = 2πr = 22cm
The radius r is then
r = c / (2π).
a := area = πr^2
A quadrant of the circle has the area
a / 4 = πr^2 / 4.
Now, let's put it together
r = 22cm / (2π) = (11 / π)cm.
a = π (11 / π)^2 cm^2 = 121π / (π^2) cm^2 = (121 / π) cm^2.
The quadrant is then:
121 / (4π) cm^2 = (30.25 / π) cm^2 ≈ 9.63 cm^2.
