Answer:
1. 452.16 square centimeters
2. 150.72 square centimeters
3. 25.12 centimeters
Explanation:
1. the area of the circle
The area of a circle can be calculated with:
![a=\pi r^2](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/college/s5pghez6ttv5vtbv5e9v2z87k2g1ql1p9p.png)
The area of the given circle then, is:
![a=\pi 12^2\\a=144\pi\\](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/high-school/kcgby2n04jgtwhm7zbyzawmnyrptm50bjl.png)
or just 452.16 square centimeters.
2. the area of the minor sector
There's a convenient formula for this, but I don't remember it and you don't really need it. A full circle is 360°, and 120° is exactly 1 third of that. 1 third of the size means 1 third of the area:
![a=452.16*(1)/(3) \\a=150.72](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/high-school/cjnajaspo7dm4kmtwc400wmlbhjgaoixjb.png)
or 150.72 square centimeters
3. the area of the minor arc
You can do the same thing here. The circumference of a circle is:
![u=2\pi r](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/high-school/8zpi4oanf6iwthtisrr8uatlhmvztoxzwa.png)
So the circumference of the given circle is:
![u=2\pi (12)\\u=24\pi](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/high-school/aoz3p4x8xl2nh0pv13i7094wl7llo9lkhk.png)
or about 75.36 centimeters.
One third of that:
![u=75.36*(1)/(3) \\u=25.12](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/high-school/rf60vl1mo1yptdy4vjf079kuyv86teh370.png)
25.12 centimeters.
