Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
The area of sector in radians = \(\frac{r^{2} \theta}{2}\)
\(3 cm^{2} = \frac{1.5 \times r^{2}}{2}\)
\(r^{2} = \frac{3 \times 2}{1.5} = 4\)
\(r = 2 cm\)
The area of sector in radians = \(\frac{r^{2} \theta}{2}\)
\(3 cm^{2} = \frac{1.5 \times r^{2}}{2}\)
\(r^{2} = \frac{3 \times 2}{1.5} = 4\)
\(r = 2 cm\)
