By definition, the area of a circular sector is given by:

A = (x\pi r^2)/(360)
Where,
r: radius of the circle
x: central angle
The central angle in degrees is given by:

x = (5 \pi )/(7)* (180)/( \pi ) = (5)/(7)* 180 x = 128.6
Substituting values we have:

A = (128.6*3.14*( (5.6)/(2) )^2)/(360)

A = 8.79
