Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided circle and information, we are going to calculate the requested area of the shaded sector, so we obtain the following:

Then we will substitute in the following formula:

Sector Area = r² × θ × π / 360

Replacinig:

Sector Area = (4 units)² × 80° × π / 360

Sector Area = 16 units² × 80° × π / 360

Sector Area = 11.17 units²

Finally we obtain that the sector area is approximately 11.17 units^2.
