Answer:


16\pi \text{ yd}^2

Explanation:

Since, the area of a sector of a circle,


A=(\theta)/(360)* \pi (r)^2

Where, r is the radius of the circle,


\theta ( in degree ) is the central angle formed by the arc of the sector,

By the given diagram,

The radius of the circle, r = AE = 8 yd,

Central angle by the arc AB,
\theta = 90°,

Hence, the area of the sector AEB,


A=(90)/(360)* \pi(8)^2


=(1)/(4)* 64\pi


=16\pi\text{ yd}^2
