Answer

$\frac{9}{2}\pi$

Work Step by Step

\[\begin{align} & \int_{-3}^{3}{\sqrt{9-{{x}^{2}}}dx} \\ & \text{The integral represents the area of a semicircle of radius 3, see figure} \\ & \text{below}\text{.} \\ & \text{The area of the circle is given by} \\ & A=\pi {{r}^{2}} \\ & \text{Let }r=4 \\ & A=\pi {{\left( 3 \right)}^{2}} \\ & A=9\pi \\ & \text{Then } \\ & \text{The area of the integral is } \\ & \frac{1}{2}A=\frac{1}{2}\left( 9\pi \right) \\ & \frac{1}{2}A=\frac{9}{2}\pi \\ \end{align}\]
