Answer:
\text{Area = 50}\piExplanations:

The area of a sector is calculated by the formula:


\begin{gathered} \text{Area = }(\theta)/(360)*\pi r^2 \\ \text{Where }\theta\text{ = the angle} \\ \text{r = the radius} \end{gathered}

Substituting the values of θ, and r into the formula given above:


\begin{gathered} \text{Area = }(45)/(360)*\pi*20^2 \\ \text{Area = }(400\pi)/(8) \\ \text{Area = 50}\pi \end{gathered}
