Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

If the entire circle was shaded the radius sweeping out the circle would go through 360 degrees.

So the way to solve this problem is to multiply the entire area of the circle by (81/360)

Area of the sector = (81/360) * pi * r^2

pi = 3.14

r =8.91 cm

Area of the sector = (81/360) * 3.14 * 8.91^2

Area of the sector = 56.09

Rounded to the nearest tenth, the answer is 56.1

Answer: 56.1 cm^2
