Answer:

The area of the sector is 33
\pi.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sector is a part of a circle that is formed by two radii (which forms a central angle), and an arc. The area of a sector (in radians) is given by:

= (θ ÷
2\pi) ×
\pi r^(2)

where: θ is the central angle of the sector and r is the radius of the circle of which the sector is a part.

Area of a circle =
\pi r^(2). But the area of the circles was given to be 36
\pi.

Area of the sector = (θ ÷
2\pi) × area of the circle

= (θ ÷
2\pi) ×36
\pi

θ has been given to be
(11)/(6)
\pi.

Therefore;

Area of the sector = (
(11)/(6)
\pi ÷
2\pi) ×36
\pi

=
(11)/(12) × 36
\pi

= 11 × 3
\pi

= 33
\pi

The area of the sector is 33
\pi.
