Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Area of a sector = \(\frac{\theta}{360°} \times \pi r^{2}\)
r = 6cm; \(\theta\) = 70°.
Area of the sector = \(\frac{70}{360} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 6^{2}\)
= \(22 cm^{2}\)
Area of a sector = \(\frac{\theta}{360°} \times \pi r^{2}\)
r = 6cm; \(\theta\) = 70°.
Area of the sector = \(\frac{70}{360} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 6^{2}\)
= \(22 cm^{2}\)
