Answer:

the area of the sector with a central angle of 11/6π radians is equal to
998.25\pi^3

Explanation:

The area A of the entire circle is given by:


A=\pi *r^(2)

Where r is the radius of the circle. So the area of a circle with radius
33\pi is:


A=\pi *(33\pi)^2=1089\pi^3

Additionally an entire circle has a central angle of
2\pi radians.

So, we can calculate the area of a sector using the rule of three in which we know that
2\pi radians has an Area of
1089\pi^3 then what is the area of the sector with a central angle of 11/6π radians as:


1089\pi^3 ------------2\pi\\ x--------------(11)/(6)\pi

Where x is the area of the sector with a central angle of 11/6π radians.

Finally, solving for x, we get:


x=(11/6\pi *1089\pi^3 )/(2\pi ) =998.25\pi^3

So, the area of the sector with a central angle of 11/6π radians is equal to
998.25\pi^3
