Question Analysis

The main focus is using the formula for the area of a sector when the central angle is given in radians. We will substitute the radius and the central - angle values into the appropriate formula to find the area of the sector.

 

Key Concept Explanation

The formula for the area of a sector of a circle when the central angle  is in radians is , where  is the radius of the circle and  is the central angle. This formula is derived from the proportion of the sector's area to the area of the whole circle, with the proportion determined by the central angle relative to  (the full - circle angle in radians).

 

Step - by - Step Solution

1. Identify the values: The radius  meters and the central angle .

2. Substitute into the formula .

First, calculate : .

Then, substitute
