Cut a circle along the radius to form an approximate rectangle. The circumference of the rectangle is 6cm longer than that of the circle. What is the area of the circle?

Cut a circle along the radius and form an approximate rectangle. The length of the rectangle is π R, the width is r, so the perimeter is 2 π R + 2R, and the perimeter of the circle is 2 π R, so there are 2 π R + 2r-2 π r = 6, 2R = 6, so the radius R is 3 cm, and the area is 3.14 × 3 × 3 = 28.26 square cm
