step 1

Find the area of the complete circle

A=pi(r^2)

we have

r=10 in

A=pi(10^2)

A=100pi in2

step 2

Remember that the area of complete circle subtends a central angle of 360 degrees

so

Applying proportion, find out the area of the ector by a central angle of 60 degrees

so

100pi/360=x/60

solve for x

x=100pi(60)/360

x=(100/6)pi in2

simplify

area is (50/3)pi in2
