Answer 1

17.3 inches

Explanation:

I'm not completely sure if this is correct, but it is definitely the most logical guess.

I'm sorry I can't help more but I hope this is correct! :)

Answer 2

Answer: C.
`17.3\ in^2`

Explanation:

The area of a sector with central angle x and radius r is given by :-

`A=(x)/(360^(\circ))*\pi r^2`

In the given picture, the radius of the circle = 3.7 in.

The central angle =
`145^(\circ)`

Now, the area of the sector in the picture will be :-

`A=(145^(\circ))/(360^(circ))*\pi (3.7)^2\approx 17.3\ in^2`

Hence, the approximate area of the shaded sector in the circle =
`17.3\ in^2`
