Since the radius of this circle is 7 units, the area of sector PQR bounded by a 75° arc is: C. 32.05
in^2.

In Mathematics and Geometry, the area of a sector can be calculated by using the following formula:

Area of sector = π
r^2 × θ/360

Where:

  • r represents the radius of a circle.
  • θ represents the central angle.

Note: The measure of an intercepted arc is equal to the central angle of a circle.

By substituting the given parameters into the area of a sector formula, we have the following;

Area of sector = π
r^2 × θ/360

Area of sector PQR = 3.14 ×
7^2 × 75/360

Area of sector PQR = 3.14 × 49 × 5/24

Area of sector PQR = 3.14 × 245/24

Area of sector PQR = 32.05 square inches.
