The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the area of a sector of a circle with a given radius and angle. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Radius (r) = 6 cm - Angle of the sector (θ) = 60 degrees 2. **Formula for Area of a Sector:** The area \( A \) of a sector of a circle can be calculated using the formula: \[ A = \frac{\theta}{360} \times \pi r^2 \] where \( \theta \) is the angle in degrees and \( r \) is the radius. 3. **Substitute the Values into the Formula:** Substitute \( r = 6 \) cm and \( \theta = 60 \) degrees into the formula: \[ A = \frac{60}{360} \times \pi \times (6)^2 \] 4. **Simplify the Expression:** First, simplify \( \frac{60}{360} \): \[ \frac{60}{360} = \frac{1}{6} \] Now substitute this back into the area formula: \[ A = \frac{1}{6} \times \pi \times 36 \] 5. **Calculate the Area:** Now calculate \( \pi \times 36 \): \[ A = \frac{1}{6} \times 36\pi = 6\pi \] 6. **Approximate the Value of π:** Using \( \pi \approx \frac{22}{7} \): \[ A = 6 \times \frac{22}{7} = \frac{132}{7} \text{ cm}^2 \] 7. **Final Result:** The area of the sector is: \[ A = \frac{132}{7} \text{ cm}^2 \approx 18.857 \text{ cm}^2 \] This can be expressed as \( 18 \frac{6}{7} \text{ cm}^2 \). ### Conclusion: The assertion that the area of the sector is \( 18 \frac{6}{7} \text{ cm}^2 \) is correct, and the reason given about the area of a circle is also valid. ---
