The circle below has center O, AB has arc length 2π units, and ∠ AOB = 90°. What is the area of the shaded sector, AOB?

The circle below has center O,

 

and ∠ AOB = 90°.                                   That is a quarter of a circle.

AB has arc length 2π units,                     Ok so the circumference must be  8pi

 

\(2\pi r=8\pi\\ so\\ r=4\;units\\~\\ Area = \frac{1}{4}*\pi r^2\\ Area = \frac{1}{4}*\pi *4^2\\ Area =4\pi\;\;units^2\)
