Find the area of the circle whose equation is given as x2+y24x+8y+11=0

A.

3π

B.

6π

C.

9π

D.

12π

Correct answer is C

Equation of a circle: (xa)2+(yb)2=r2

Given that x2+y24x+8y+11=0

Expanding the equation of a circle, we have: x22ax+a2+y22by+b2=r2

Comparing this expansion with the given equation, we have

2a=4a=2

2b=8b=4

r2a2b2=11r2=11+22+42=9

r=3

Area=πr2=π×32

= 9π
