Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

6.28

Solution :

The correct option is 6.28.


To find the area of a sector of a circle, we use the formula:

Area of sector=θ360°×πr2


From the given problem, we have the following values:

Radius of the circle, r=4 cm

Angle of the sector, θ=45°

Value of π=3.14


Now, substitute these values into the sector area formula:

Area=45°360°×3.14×42


Simplify the fraction 45°360°:

45360=18


Substitute this simplified fraction back into the equation:

Area=18×3.14×16


Divide 16 by 8:

Area=3.14×2


Area=6.28 cm2


Thus, the area of the sector is 6.28 cm2.
