To find the area of a sector of a circle use the next formula:


A=(\theta)/(360º)*\pi *r^2

As the given circle has a outside angle 90º (it is not part of the sector of the circle) subtract the 90º from 360º (total angle of a circle) to find the angle of the sector:


\theta=360º-90º=270º

Find the area of the sector with angle 270º:


\begin{gathered} A=(270º)/(360º)*3.14*(11in)\placeholder{⬚}^2 \\ \\ A=0.75*3.14*121in^2 \\ \\ A=284.955in^2 \end{gathered}Then, the approximate area of the given sector of a circle is 284.955 square inches
