\begin{gathered} A=(r^2)/(2)\theta \\ \text{Where:} \\ A=\text{Area of the circular sector}=67m^2 \\ \theta=angleinradians=100^(\circ)*(\pi)/(180)=(5)/(9)\pi \\ \end{gathered}

Solving for r:


\begin{gathered} 67=(r^2)/(2)(5)/(9)\pi \\ r^2=(67*18)/(5\pi) \\ r=\pm\sqrt[]{76.77634455} \\ r=\pm8.762211168 \\ r\approx8.8 \end{gathered}
