For example, I know the radius is 3. So how do I find the area of the circle in taxicab geometry?

Taxicab geometry is a type of non-Euclidian
geometry.

Well, in taxicab geometry it wouldn't be a circle in the sense of Euclidean geometry, it would be a square with taxicab distances from the center to the sides all equal.
So, the taxicab circle radius would essentially be half of the square diagonal, the diagonal would be 2R, side Rsqrt(2) and area 2R^2. (where R is the "circle" radius)
