Answer:

1/4 radian = 45°/π ≈ 14.32°

Explanation:

The area of a sector is given by the formula ...

A = 1/2r²θ . . . . . radius r and central angle θ in radians

Then the angle is ...

θ = 2A/r² . . . . . radians

θ = 2(2 km²)/(4 km)² = 4/16 = 1/4 . . . . radian

The angle measure is 1/4 radian = 45°/π ≈ 14.32°
