Answer:

100π = Area of the circle

Explanation:

Let the unknown area of the circle be A = πr². To find A, we have to find the circle radius r first.

The known sector area (A = 20π) is a fraction of the total circle area:

(2/5)π

------------ A = 20π or (after reducing the fraction) A/5 = 20π

Multiplying both sides by 5 yields A = 100π = Area of the circle
