Area of the sector = 0.785 ft²

Explanation;

radius = 1 foot

θ = 90°

Formula for area of sector:


Area\text{ }of\text{ }a\text{ }sector=\theta/360*\pi r^2
\begin{gathered} \text{let }\pi\text{ = 3.14} \\ A\text{ rea = }(90)/(360)*3.14*1^2 \\ \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} \text{Area of sector }=\text{ 1/4 }*\text{ 3.14} \\ \text{Area of the sector = 0.785 square f}eet \end{gathered}
