Answer:

The appropriate answer is "108π unit²".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Angle,


\Theta = 270^(\circ)

Radius,

r = 12 units

Now,

The area of the sector of a circle will be:

=
(\Theta)/(360)* \pi* (r)^ 2

On substituting the given values in the above formula, we get

=
(270)/(360)* \pi * (12)^2

=
0.75* \pi* 144

=
108\pi \ unit^2
