Answer:

A) 175π / 9 squared inches,

Explanation:

Radius = 10 inches

AB = BD = 10 = radius

Triangle ABD is isosceles

Angle DAB = Angle BDA = 35 degrees,

Base angles theroem

35 + 35 + x = 180, angles in triangle

x = 180 - 70

x = 110 degrees

Angle DBC is supplementary with ABD

110 + x = 180

x = 70

70 degrees is angle for the sector

70 is 70/360, 7/36 of the circle

The area will also be 7/36 of the circle area

Area of circle = πr^2

Area = 100π

Area of sector = (100π * 7) / 36

Area of sector = 700π / 36

Simplified area = 175π / 9 squared inches
