Answer:

The area of the sector is
12.8\pi\ units^2

Explanation:

we know that

The area of a complete circle (16π units^2) subtends a central angle of 2π radians

so

using proportion

Find out the area of a sector , if the central angle is equal to 8π/5 radians


(16\pi)/(2\pi)=(x)/((8\pi/5))\\\\x=8(8\pi/5)\\\\x= 12.8\pi\ units^2
