Given: A sector with a central angle-


\theta=(\pi)/(12)\text{ radians}

And the radius of 4 units.

Required: To determine the area of the sector.

Explanation: The area of the sector is given by the formula-


Area=(1)/(2)\theta r^2

Substituting the values into the formula as-


\begin{gathered} Area=(1)/(2)((\pi)/(12))(4^2) \\ =(2\pi)/(3)\text{ sq units} \end{gathered}

Final Answer: The area of the sector is-


(2\pi)/(3)
