Given:

Area of a sector = 64 m²

The central angle is
\theta=(\pi)/(6).

To find:

The radius or the value of r.

Solution:

Area of a sector is:


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

Where, r is the radius of the circle and
\theta is the central angle of the sector in radian.

Putting
A=64,\theta=(\pi)/(6), we get


64=(1)/(2)r^2* (\pi)/(6)


64=(\pi)/(12)r^2


64* (12)/(\pi)=r^2


(768)/(\pi)=r^2

Taking square root on both sides, we get


\sqrt{(768)/(\pi)}=r


16\sqrt{(3)/(\pi)}=r

Therefore, the value of r is
16\sqrt{(3)/(\pi)} m.
