Answer:

7.1π

Explanation:

Calculate what part of the angle 360° ​​is the given center angle 40°.


(40)/(360)=(1)/(9)

The same part of the area of the circle is the given sector.

The formula of an area of a circle:


A=\pi r^2

r - radius

We have r = 8.

The area of a circle:


A_O=\pi(8^2)=64\pi

The area of the sector:


A=(1)/(9)A_O\to A=(1)/(9)(64\pi)=(64)/(9)\pi\approx7.1\pi

The formula to find the area of a sector is:

A =
(degree)/(360) \pi r^(2)

In this case:

Degree = 40

Radius = 8

^^^Plug these numbers into the formula given above

A =
(40)/(360) \pi 8^(2)

Solve

A =
(1)/(9)π8²

A =
(1)/(9)π64

A =
(64)/(9)\pi

A = 7.1111111π

When rounded:

7.1π is the area of the sector

Hope this helped!
