Accepted Solution
A:
the correct answer is 2) Calculate the area of the circle. Then, determine the central angle of the sector and divide this angle by 360° to get a fraction. Multiply the area of the circle by this fraction. area of the circle is calculated by; area = πr² , where r- radius of circle the central angle of a circle is 360°. Area of the circle is calculated for central angle of 360°. Sector is when 2 arms/ radii enclose a central angle between them. area for 360° = πr² area for 1 ° = area/ 360 area for central angle of sector = area * angle/ 360 the angle of sector is divided by 360 and taken as a fraction .this fraction of the total area of the circle is taken as the area of the sector.
