Answer:

The area of blue sector is 25.64 in²

Explanation:

In the given figure, we need to find the area of blue section whose central angle is 60°

Formula:


\text{Area of sector}= (\theta)/(360^\circ)* \pi r^2

Radius of circle (r)=7 in


\theta = 60^\circ

Substitute the value into formula and find area of sector.


\text{Area of blue sector}= (60)/(360)*3.14* 7^2


\text{Area of blue sector}= 25.643\approx 25.64\text{ in}^2

Hence, The area of blue sector is 25.64 in²
