To solve this problem, we will use the following formula for determining the area of a sector:


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

where r is the radius of the circle, and θ is the central angle in degrees.

Substituting r= 20 cm, and θ=30 in the above formula, we get:


A=(30)/(360)*\pi(20cm)^2.

Simplifying, we get:


A\approx104.72cm^2.

Answer:


104.72cm^2.
