Given:

The radius of the circle is 4 cm.

The central angle is 120°

We need to determine the area of the sector.

Area of the sector:

The area of the sector can be determined using the formula,


A=((\theta)/(360) )\pi r^2

Substituting
\theta=120 and r = 4 cm, we get;


A=((120)/(360)) \pi (4)^2

Simplifying, we get;


A=((120)/(360)) \pi (16)


A=5.33 \pi \ cm^2

Thus, the area of the sector is 5.33π cm²
