Answer:

The area of a sector is part of an area of the entire circle. Determine the fraction of the circle that the sector represents and multiply it by the area of the circle.

Explanation:

We know the area of a circle is


\pi {r}^(2)

That is when the cricle is 360 degrees full, so another formula is


(360)/(360) \pi {r}^(2)

If we the find the area of the sector with angle x, then that formula will be


(x)/(360) {\pi}r^(2)
