The formula for the area of a sector is given as


\begin{gathered} \text{Area of a sector=}(\theta)/(360)*\pi r^2 \\ \text{where,} \\ \theta=\sec toralangle=72^0 \\ r=\text{radius}=4\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}

By substitution,


\begin{gathered} \text{Area of sector= }(72^0)/(360^0)*\pi*(4\operatorname{cm})^2 \\ \text{Area of sector=}\frac{\text{72}*\pi*16\operatorname{cm}^2}{360} \\ \text{Area of sector}=\frac{1152\pi\operatorname{cm}^2}{360} \\ \text{Area of sector}=10.053\operatorname{cm}^2 \end{gathered}

Hence,

The area of the sector=10.053 square centimeters
