The first estate was wealthy as it owned lands and collected tithes and rents, it avoided paying any tax to the state. They were corrupt and were criticised during the French revolution. The lower classes became ardent critics of the church as they wanted to have greater say and wanted the church to be more accountable.

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for area of a circle is given by

a = pi * r^2

using 3.14 as an approximation for pi

a = 3.14*81

a = 254.34
