The locus of all points that are equally distant from the centre is referred to as a circle. Technically, a quadrant is one-fourth of a circle's section and is generated when a circle is evenly divided into four sections, or more accurately, four quadrants, by the intersection of two perpendicular lines. The space covered by one-fourth of a circle is referred to as the area of a quadrant, which is equal to one-fourth of the area of a circle. Half of a semicircle makes up the quadrant, and its area can be interpreted as the same as half of the semicircle's area. Each of a circle's four quadrants has an equal area, and the total area of the quadrants equals the area of the circle.

Quadrants are the four quarters of the coordinate plane system. The term "quadrant" refers to each of the four sections. A quadrant, or a sector of 90 degrees, is the term used to describe the quarter of a circle. When four of these quadrants are combined, the only structure that results is a ‘circle’. Each of these quadrants has an equal area and size. Two perpendicular straight lines that represent the radius and an arc that represents one-fourth of a circle's circumference make up a quadrant.
We need to know the area of a circle in order to compute the area of a quadrant of a circle. We need to know the radius of a circle in order to calculate its area.
Area of circle (A) = \pi r^{2}
Here, “r” is the radius of the circle.
Radius is described as the length of a line segment from the circle's centre to any point on its periphery. Now, divide a circle's area by four to determine the area of a quadrant (as four quadrants make a circle). We get,
Area of a quadrant = \frac{\pi r^{2}}{4}
It is simple to calculate the quadrant's area using its radius. Finding a circle's quadrant's area can be done by using the processes below:
Take a measurement of the quadrant's radius, which is the same as the corresponding circle's radius. In addition, the radius is the same as the circle's half-diameter.
From the circle’s radius, compute the area of the circle.
Calculate the quadrant's area, which is equal to one-fourth of the circle's area.
Apply the proper square units to the quadrant's area.
