ANSWER


0.314\operatorname{cm}

Step-by-step explanation

The area of a sector is given as:


A=(\theta)/(360)\cdot\pi\cdot r^2

where r = radius of the circle

θ = angle of the sector

From the question, we do not have the radius, but we have the diameter of the circle.

The diameter of a circle is twice its radius, which means that:


\begin{gathered} D=2\cdot r \\ r=(D)/(2) \\ r=(2)/(2) \\ r=1\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the area of the sector is:


\begin{gathered} A=(36)/(360)\cdot\pi\cdot1^2 \\ A=0.314\operatorname{cm}^2 \end{gathered}
