Answer:


\bold{2\pi\ ft^2\approx6,28\ ft^2}

Explanation:

360°:2 = 180° so the area of a sector bounded by a 180° arc is a half of area of a circle of the same radius.


A=\frac12\pi R^2=\frac12\pi\cdot2^2=\frac12\pi\cdot4=2\pi\ ft^2\approx2\cdot3,14=6,28\ ft^2

Answer:


\boxed{Area = 3.14 ft^2}

Explanation:

Radius = r = 2 feet

Angle = θ = π/2 (In radians) = 1.57 radians

Area of Sector =
(1)/(2) r^2 \theta

Area =
(1)/(2) (4)(1.57)

Area = 2 * 1.57

Area = 3.14 ft²
