To find the area of a circle with a radius of 3, we use the formula for the area of a circle:
[tex]\[
\text{Area} = \pi \times r^2
\][/tex]
In this formula, [tex]\( r \)[/tex] is the radius of the circle. Given that the radius [tex]\( r = 3 \)[/tex], we substitute this value into the formula. Additionally, we are instructed to use [tex]\( \pi = 3.14 \)[/tex] for the calculation.
[tex]\[
\text{Area} = 3.14 \times 3^2
\][/tex]
First, we need to calculate [tex]\( 3^2 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
3^2 = 3 \times 3 = 9
\][/tex]
Next, we multiply this result by [tex]\( 3.14 \)[/tex] to find the area:
[tex]\[
\text{Area} = 3.14 \times 9
\][/tex]
Now, we perform the multiplication:
[tex]\[
3.14 \times 9 = 28.26
\][/tex]
So, the final area of the circle is:
[tex]\[
\boxed{28.26}
\][/tex]
