Answer:


39.3mm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the area of the sectors, we need the area of the full circle

The area of the circle is:


A\text{ = }\pi* r^2

where r is the radius of the circle

The area of the circle is:


A=\text{ }(22)/(7)*15\text{ = 707.1429 }mm^2

We now proceed to divide the area of the sector by 18

Mathematically, we have that as:


(707.1429)/(18)\text{ = 39.3 }mm^2
