Answer:

64

Explanation:

To find the area (A) of the sector of a circle where the central angle is measured in radians, we can use the area of a sector formula:


\boxed{\begin{array}{l}\underline{\sf Area \;of\; a\; sector}\\\\A=\frac12 r^2 \theta\\\\\textsf{where:}\\\phantom{ww}\bullet\;\textsf{$A$ is the area.}\\ \phantom{ww}\bullet\;\textsf{$r$ is the radius.}\\ \phantom{ww}\bullet\;\textsf{$\theta$ is the angle measured in radians.}\end{array}}

In this case:

  • r = 16
  • θ = 0.5 rad

Substitute the values into the formula and solve for A:


\begin{aligned}A&=(1)/(2) \cdot 16^2 \cdot 0.5\\\\A&=(1)/(2) \cdot 256 \cdot 0.5\\\\A&=128 \cdot 0.5\\\\A&=64\end{aligned}

Therefore, the area of the sector is 64.
