For this problem, we are given a circle, and we need to calculate the area of a sector within this circle.

The area for a sector of a circle is given by the following equation:


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

Applying the data from the problem, we have:


A=(\pi\cdot3^2\cdot150)/(360)=11.78\text{ square meters}

The area of the sector is approximately 11.78 square meters.
