Did we solve your problem today?

A quarter circle is one-fourth of a full disk, bounded by two radii and an arc.

The math behind it

Area is a quarter of πr². The perimeter is the curved arc (½πr) plus the two straight radii (2r).

Worked example

Radius 6 → area ≈ 28.27, perimeter ≈ 21.42.

FAQ

Why add 2r to the perimeter?

A quarter circle is bounded by the arc and the two radii forming the corner.
