The area inside a full circle is given by the formula: Area = Pi x r x r where r is the length of the circle's radius.
However, the angle of 90 degrees is only one quarter of a rotation of a line about a point at its end, so the required area is one quarter of the full area.
So the required area is (Pi x r x r) divided by 4
A fairly accurate answer is found if we use the value 3.14 for Pi
It is interesting that the number Pi cannot be written down exactly as a fraction or a decimal. It is called an "irrational" number.

The area of the shaded region can be gotten by multiplying the area of the circle by the subtended angle of the sector.
48 is less than 90, so a 48 degree angle is an acute angle.
a straight line
An angle subtended at the semicircular arc is 90 degrees.
A circle because there are 360 degrees around a circle.
