The area of a sector with a 90-degree central angle and a radius of 10 feet is
\(25 \pi\) square feet. (option A)

The formula to find the area
(\(A\)) of a sector of a circle is given by:


\[ A = \frac{\text{angle}}{360^\circ} * \pi r^2 \]

where:

-
\(\text{angle}\) is the central angle of the sector,

-
\(r\) is the radius of the circle.

In this case, you have a sector with a central angle of 90 degrees and a radius of 10 feet. Plug these values into the formula:


\[ A = (90^\circ)/(360^\circ) * \pi * (10 \, \text{ft})^2 \]

Simplify:


\[ A = (1)/(4) * \pi * 100 \]\[ A = 25 \pi \text{ft}^2 \]

Therefore, the area of the sector is
\(25 \pi\)
\text{ft}^2\). (option A)
