Answer:


(7\pi)/(4).

Explanation:

Given information:

Radius of circle = 8 cm

Area of sector =
56\pi\text{ cm}^2

Formula for area of sector is


A=(1)/(2)\theta r^2

where, r is radius and
\theta is central angle in radian.

Substitute
A=56\pi and r=8 in the above formula.


56\pi=(1)/(2)\theta (8)^2


56\pi=(64)/(2)\theta


56\pi=32\theta


(56\pi)/(32)=\theta


(7\pi)/(4)=\theta

Therefore, the measure of the sector in radians is
(7\pi)/(4).
