Answer:


Area= (\pi )/(2)

Explanation:

Recall that the formula for the area of a sector of
\theta radians in a circle circle of radius "r" is given by the formula:


Area=(1)/(2) r^2\, \theta

so in this case, the radius is 3 and the angle is
(1)/(9) \pi:


Area=(1)/(2) r^2\, \theta\\Area=(1)/(2) 3^2\, (1)/(9) \pi\\Area= (\pi )/(2)
