Answer:


Area = 316.6 mi^2

Explanation:

Given:

Angle of arc = 300°

Radius of circle = 11 miles

Take π as 3.14

Required:

Area of the major sector

Solution:

Area of sector is given as: angle of arc/360*πr²

Thus,


Area = (300)/(360)*3.14*11^2


Area = 316.616667


Area = 316.6 mi^2 (rounded to the nearest tenth)
