Answer:


\text{The area of sector is }169.65 in^2

Explanation:

Given that the radius of circle is 18 inches and length of arc is 6π

we have to find the area of sector.

The formula to find the length of arc is


S=r\theta


6\pi=18* \theta


\theta=(6\pi)/(18)=(\pi)/(3)

Now, to find the area of sector


Area=(1)/(2)r^2\theta


A=(1)/(2)* 18^2* (\pi)/(3)=54\pi=169.646003294\sim 169.65 in^2


\text{Hence, the area of sector is }169.65 in^2

Option C is correct
