Answer:

A) Area of sector = 2.5 in².

Explanation:

Given : If the area of the circle below is 10 in².

To find : What is the area of the shaded sector .

Solution : We have given that

Area of the circle = 10 in².

Formula of area of circle =
\pi *r^(2).


\pi *r^(2) = 10


r^(2) =
(10)/(3.14)

Area of sector =
(theta)/(360)
\pi *r^(2)

Plugging the values

Area of sector =
(90)/(360)* 10.

Area of sector = 2.5 in².

Therefore, A) Area of sector = 2.5 in².
