Answer:

The approximate area is A) 5.09cm²

Explanation:

Area of a Circle = πr²

r = 1.8

Plug in our values

π(1.8cm²)

Evaluate the area of the entire circle

a = π(1.8cm²)

a = π(3.24cm)

a = 10.179cm²

Area of a sector, with the area of the circle of the sector being a = theta/360 * a

Evaluate the area of the sector

180/360*10.719cm²

0.5 * 10.179cm²

5.0895cm²

Round the value up

5.09cm²
