Hi, there!

________


\textsc{key:}

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

The formula is


\longrightarrow\Large\boxed{A=(r^2\theta)/(2)}

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Here

» A=Sector Area, or arc length

» r is the radius (it's squared‼)

» θ is the angle

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Now, we can substitute our parameters, and work out the answer.


\bf{A}\sf{=(12^2*65)/(2)}


\bf{A}\sf{=(144*65)/(2)}


\bf{A}=\sf{(9360)/(2)


\bf{A}=\sf{4,680 \ centimeters^2}

Hope the answer - and explanation - made sense,

happy studying!!
