Answer:

True

Explanation:

To find the area of a sector of a circle, we would need to find the area of the circle first.

We would then need to know the length of the arc of the sector and the circumference of the circle. The ratio arc/circumference will tell us the fraction of the circle covered by the sector.

We then multiply the area of the circle by this fraction to find the area of the sector.
